 Let’s Understand
What is a research title?
✔ The title summarizes the main idea or ideas of your study.
✔ A good title contains the fewest possible words needed to
adequately describe the content and/or purpose of your
research paper.
How do you Let’s Understand

formulate research
titles?
1. The title has to be explicit and indicative of the subject
(topic).
2. The title must provide a clear and appropriate description
of the focus of the study.
3. The title should be concise while unambiguously
reflecting the exact topic of the thesis/dissertation. 17
How do you Let’s Understand

formulate research
titles?
4. Fifteen words or less are normally sufficient.
5. Verbs are not always necessary in a title.
6. Do not use single word titles for formal research writing.

19
How do you Let’s Understand

formulate research
titles?
7. The more restricted the area of investigation, the more the
researcher needs to describe it adequately in the title.
8. If the title is too long to fit along the spine of the binding,
an appropriate abbreviation can be used.
9. The title must be linguistically correct.
20
How do you Let’s Understand

formulate research
titles?
10. The title must be relevant, appropriate, current and
sensibly demarcated.
11. Avoid unnecessary phrases for example:
An investigation of…
A study of….
