Research Title

1) When creating a research title, it is important to consider that the title will be the "first detail" or "face" of the paper that readers see. An effective title should be simple, direct, accurate, specific, interesting, and informative enough to encourage readers to learn more. 2) Keywords in the title are important for searchability and accessibility. Relevant keywords should be at the beginning of the title. 3) To develop a title, researchers should consider answering questions like "What is my paper about?", "What methods did I use?", "What was the subject?", and "What did I find?". The title should indicate the focus and key results.

Research Title

Presented by Tiangha, Zedrick Lyrad


TOPIC
How to Create a Research Title
THINGS TO
CONSIDER
When a reader browses through a Research Paper (hard copy
or on a website), the title is the “ first detail” or “face” of the
paper that is read. Hence, it needs to be simple, direct,
accurate, appropriate, specific, functional, interesting,
attractive, concise, focused, memorable, captivating,
informative (enough to encourage the reader to read further),
unique, catchy, and should not be misleading.
THINGS TO
CONSIDER
It should have “just enough details” to arouse the interest and
curiosity of the reader so that the reader then goes ahead with
studying the abstract and then (if still interested) the full paper.
Journal websites, electronic databases, and search engines use
the words in the title (keywords) to retrieve a particular paper
during a search; hence, the importance of these words in
accessing the paper by the readers has been emphasized.
THINGS TO
CONSIDER
Such important words (or keywords) should be arranged in the
appropriate order of importance as per the context of the
paper and should be placed at the beginning of the title (rather
than the later part of the title, as some search engines like
Google may just display only the first six to seven words of the
title). It is a good idea to create the title after the research is
complete.
BRAINSTORMING
Use the following questions to help you formulate a suitable
research paper title:

1. “What is my paper about?”


2. “What methods/techniques did I use to perform my study?
3. “What or who was the subject of my study?”
4. “What did I find?”
EXAMPLE
Research question Answer

“My paper studies how program volume affects outcomes


“What is my paper about?”
for liver transplant patients on waiting lists.”

“What methods/techniques did I use to perform my study? “It’s a case study.”

“I studied 60 cases of liver transplant patients on a waiting


“What or who was the subject of my study?”
list throughout the US aged 20-50 years.”

“My study revealed a positive correlation between waitlist


“What did I find?”
volume and negative prognosis of transplant procedure.”

MISTAKES TO AVOID

1. Non-specific openings—"Report on", "A Study of", "Results of", "An


Experimental Investigation of", etc. these do not contribute any meaning
2. Steer clear of sensationalism—avoid overhyping your research with
overly sensational language.
3. Contains question marks—you’ll present your research question instead
of your key message.
4. Including a period at the end—your title is NOT a sentence
5. Don't be cliché—try to be original and avoid overused phrases
6. Using italics—italicize only species names of studied organisms.
7. Avoid unnecessary acronyms, abbreviations, and jargon—readers may
not understand the words used or may misunderstand.
8. Doesn’t describe the main result of the paper—Your reader wants to
know what exactly you added to the field
9. Don't plagiarise- Don't copy someone else work
A Title is to a
research paper
what a headline
is to a news
article!
EXAMPLE

Conclusion
In conclusion, a research title is not just a formality but a
critical element of any research project. It serves as a
guide, a communication tool, and a first impression,
influencing the success and impact of the study.
Researchers should dedicate time and thought to crafting
an appropriate and meaningful title that reflects the
essence of their work.
