a good research title
The 5 characteristics of a research title:
- It should summarize the main idea of the paper
- It should be a concise statement of the main topic
- It should include the major variables of the research study
- It should be self-explanatory
- Should describe or imply the participants of the study
The elements of a research title:
- Major Variables
- Participants of the Study
- Topics or Themes
- Outputs
It is an element of a research title that must be contained in the title since without variables there is no research to be conducted.
Major Variables
It is an element of a research title that include either the subject or the respondents.
Participants of the Study
It is an element of a research title that are the subject matters or concepts that are the focus of the investigation and discussion in the paper.
Topics or Themes
It is an element of a research title that the main concrete contribution after the data are gathered and interpreted.
Outputs
It is an aspect of comparison that avoid unnecessary words or phrases.
Conciseness
It is an aspect of comparison that make sure that titles are understandable and self-explanatory.
Clarity

Scope
It is an aspect of comparison that the title must imply the participants of the study and provide a specific direction.
Purpose
It is an aspect of comparison that while grammar rules are not very strictly observed, avoid use of emotional terms or “trigger words” in academic research.
Language use, word choice, grammar
It is an aspect of comparison that the title should include major variables in the study.
Use of variables
It states the area of concern of the research paper whether it is a circumstance needing development, a difficulty requiring attention, or an inquiry necessitating an answer.
research problem
This section sets the direction of the research study as it provides the foundation for the research hypothesis and defines what kind of research study is suitable to address the problem.

CONSIDERATIONS IN FORMULATING THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
External criteria and Internal criteria
It is part of external criteria that refers to the practical value of the problem due to its “newness” in the field of inquiry.
Novelty

Ethical considerations
It is part of internal criteria that constitute the researcher’s knowledge and expertise as a result of experience and study.
Experience, training, and qualifications of the researcher
It is part of internal criteria that are essential attitudes that bring anticipated satisfaction or enjoyment in the completion of research tasks.
