GUIDE QUESTIONS:

CHARACTERISTICS OF A
GOOD RESEARCH TITLE
•The Research Title:
a. summarizes the main idea/s of your study
b. it is the part of the paper that is read the most and is
usually read first
c. captures reader’s attention and draws his attention at the
research problem being investigated
d. differentiates the paper from other papers of the same
subject area
e. Predicts content
f. Contains keywords that will make it easy to access by a
computer search
HERE ARE BASIC REMINDERS TO
KEEP IN MIND WHILE WRITING A
RESEARCH TITLE:
1. Keep it simple, brief, and attractive.
Avoid: Drug X has an effect of muscular contraction
for an hour in snails
Better: Drug X induces muscular contraction in
snails
2. Use appropriate descriptive words
Avoid: Effects of Drug A on schizophrenia patients
Better: Psychosocial effects of Drug A on schizophrenia patients.
3. Avoid abbreviations and jargon.
Avoid: MMP expression profiles cannot distinguish between
normal and early osteoarthritic synovial fluid
Better: Matrix metalloproteinase protein expression profiles
cannot distinguish between normal and early osteoarthritic
synovial fluid
4. It is a good idea to create a ‘working’ research title first.
Avoid: MMP expression profiles cannot distinguish between normal and
early osteoarthritic synovial fluid
Better: Matrix metalloproteinase protein expression profiles cannot
distinguish between normal and early osteoarthritic synovial fluid
