RESEARCH TITLE
PROPOSAL
RESEARCH TOPIC or RESEARCH PROBLEM
✓ The title must be broad enough to include all aspects of the study but
should be brief and concise as possible.
✓ The use of terms as “analysis of”, “An Investigation of” and the like
should be avoided. All these are understood to have been done in a research.
✓ If the title contains more than one line, it should be written in inverted
pyramid.
✓ When typed or encoded in the title page, all words in the title should be in
capital letters.
Selected Guidelines in the Formulation of a
Research Title
1.A title should give readers information about the contents of the
research and is preferable to one that is vague or general.
2.Titles do not need to be stuffy or dull, but they should generally
give readers some idea at the outset of what the research paper will
contain.
3.Choose a title that is a phrase rather than a complete sentence.
