Writing the Research Title
Moving on with your chosen research topic is the final writing of the research title. Choosing a research title
does not happen in a snap of a finger, and presto! You have a title!
In this lesson, you will learn how to brainstorm with yourself by first coming up with broad ideas then,
further arriving at a research title into a specific one, that is a researchable one.

The following are important terminologies for you to take note:


   
  Is the first thing that is read on a research paper that
Research Title outlines the purpose of the research, the methods used
and the overall tone of the paper.
   
  Contains few possible words that could not adequately
Working Research Title describe the contents of your research paper

Directions: Analyze the titles written in clusters. Identify the common elements of the titles and write them on your
notebook.

Guide Questions:
1. How did the researchers came up with these titles?

2. What are the common elements of these research titles?


CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD RESEARCH TITLE

The Research Title:

 summarizes the main idea/s of your study


 it is the part of the paper that is read the most and is usually read first
 captures reader’s attention and draws his attention at the research problem being investigated
 differentiates the paper from other papers of the same subject area
 Predicts content
 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. The primary function of a title is to provide a precise summary of the
paper’s content. So, keep the title brief and clear. Moreover, a good tile for a research is typically around 10-15
substantive words long. A lengthy title may seem unfocused and take the reader’s attention away from an
important point.
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. A good research title should contain key words used in
the manuscript and should define the nature of the study. Think about terms people would
use to search for the study and include them in the title.
Avoid: Effects of Drug A on schizophrenia patients
Better: Psychosocial effects of Drug A on schizophrenia patients
3. Avoid abbreviations and jargon. Known abbreviations such as AIDS, HIV, and so on can be used in the title.
However, lesser-known or specific abbreviations and jargon that would not be immediately familiar to the readers
should be left out.

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. This title helps focus the research and
writing but can be changed if needed. The final title should be a phrase or a question that indicates
the subject and scope of the research while generating the reader’s interest and enthusiasm for the topic.

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
HOW TO WRITE A RESEARCH TITLE

1. What is my paper about?
2. What techniques/designs will be used?
3. Who/What will be studied?
4. Where is the setting of the study?
5. When is the period or duration of the study?

Step Two
Use your answers to list key words.
Step Three
Create a sentence that indicates the key words you listed.
Step Four
