    PRACTICAL RESEARCH II:

    FORMULATING YOUR RESEARCH TITLE

    At this point, you may already have an interesting and relevant quantitative research
    topic that is related to your chosen track. The next step is for you to have a suitable and
    captivating title for the research study in mind.

    The old saying “never judge a book by its cover” applies to research studies no matter
    how much we say otherwise. When the title is poorly constructed that it does not accurately
    describe the objective of your research, it can discredit the value of the entire research, let alone
    the implication of your research findings. It is, therefore, important that you make your research
    title accurate yet captivating. After all, the research title is the first thing your professor, fellow
    researchers, journal editors, or reviewers get to see first. Once it captures the attention of the
    readers, they will be enticed to read the entire work and learn something from your research.
    Learning how to make your research title create a good impression is essential.

    Basic Guidelines in Make Research Title

    A research study title is the very first thing a reader comes across when searching for
    scientific literature. It is a concise description of the content of the research study containing
    the fewest possible words, yet adequate to describe the contents of the paper for a simple reason
    that we do not want to mislead the readers. After conceptualizing a most probable research
    topic, drafting the title early in the research process helps in keeping your focus on the subject.
    The following are the basic guidelines for making a research study title:

    1. Use an accurate description of the subject and scope of the study instead of using
    general terms.
    2. Do not use abbreviations except for commonly known ones like DNA and ICT.
    3. Do not include words like “The study of,” “analysis of,” “an investigation of” or similar
    construction as these would only lengthen the title.
    4. Include the main dependent and independent variables.
    5. Be mindful of the proper use of grammar and punctuation.
    6. Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs as well as the first letter
    of the first and last words.
    7. State in a declarative form, although you may also see titles in question form from time
    to time.
    8. The year the study has been conducted should not be indicated unless it is a historical
    study.
    9. Use current terminology.
    10. Depending on the institutional requirements, 5 to15 words are sufficient to describe the research
    study.
    11. Use the common name instead of the chemical formula (e.g., NH4)
    12. Write and italicize the full scientific names.
    13. Must reflect the tone of the paper. An academic research paper has a title which is not casual,
    informal, or does not contain humor.

    The following steps can guide you in writing your research title:

    1. Determine what it is that you wish to accomplish or know from your study. Write one
    to two sentences to state the main objectives of your research project.
    2. Include important keywords and variables. Revise the sentences into one complete
    sentence that includes important keywords and variables of the study.
    3. Shorten the title by eliminating unnecessary words. You may also shrink a phrase into
    a simpler phrase or a single word. In doing this, make sure that the main thought of the
    research study is retained.
    4. Correct grammar and punctuation errors if there is any.
    5. Observe proper formatting. The format may vary according to the requirements of the
    course or school. Please seek guidance from your professor.
