Research Title

According to Gaddi (2018), the research title gives the

readers an idea about the researcher’s study.
Additionally, Barrot (2018) purports that it summarizes the
main idea of the whole research paper.
Also, the title should be written using the fewest possible
words without compromising clarity and sense (ibid.).
How Will You Know If It’s the Right Title? (Gaddi, 2018)
1. The subject and your scope of the study are in your
title.
2. The title radiates positivity and strength for the whole
study, not only for a specific part.
3. The words used in the study provide the purpose of
the study.
4. The title counts around 5 to 15 words only.
5. The title can reveal the organization of your research
project.
Moreover, Barrot (2018) offered the following guidelines in
writing the research title:
1. Write your title in the declarative or question form.
2. Indicate the subject and scope of your study.
3. Avoid abbreviations unless they are commonly
known.
4. Use the currently acceptable terminology in your field
of study.
5. Avoid using phrases such as “A Study of…” and “An
Investigation of…” as these would lead to ambiguity.
6. Refrain from indicating the year the study was
conducted. However, if you are conducting Historical
Research, the coverage year may be included in the title.
7. Avoid an overly general title such as “Traffic in Metro
Manila.”
8. Avoid using title appropriate only for quantitative
studies.
