Q
  • captures the relevant aspects of the study.
  • What if you come up with a title “Eight Months and Counting”? What do you think the study is
    all about? It’s very hard to guess because it’s vague and uninformative. After deliberation, you decided to name it “ The Effectiveness of Plastic Barriers as Protective Shield among Transport Groups”, which clearly shows the research method; the reader can also predict the objective of the study: to measure the effectiveness of plastic barrier as protective transport groups’ attitude towards plastic barrier policy implemented by LTFRB.

Q

To make the title interesting, attention-grabbing, and easy to read, use words that create a
positive impression and stimulate the reader’s interest. The example above is catchy enough to
become a memorable title. When trying to add some zest in the title, make sure your title conveys information in an unambiguous and precise manner, communicates the message
clearly, and doesn’t encourage multiple interpretations.

It should be interesting to the reader

Q

Keywords are important words and concepts that are frequently used in your research paper.
Using them in the title will let you introduce the topic, problem, or solution right away.

Let’s take a look at the examples from the book How to Write and Illustrate a Scientific Paper by
Bjorn Gustavi: The effect of calcium antagonist felodipine on blood pressure, heart rate … in
patients with essential hyperextension According to Gustavi (2008), this title is not very effective as it reveals which disease was studied only at the end. He advises to place keywords at the beginning of the title. This
makes it immediately clear what you studied, and your research will be easier to find: ―Essential hypertension: The effect of …
