Writing an Effective Title
Writing an Effective Title
Tips
1. Name the main factors studied; ask yourself what they are and write them here.
2. Name the population (or animal, plant, or cell line) you studied.
3. For clinical studies, identify the type of study, such as “randomized controlled trial.” Then consider whether you should include this information in the title.
4. Consider stating your study’s major findings.
5. Make your title specific. (If it’s too general, readers may expect your findings to be more widely applicable than they are.) Ask yourself what key words or phrases should be in the title to narrow the focus; write them here.
6. Start the title with a word or term that represents the most important aspect of your study.
