Research Title
The first thing the readers will notice in a
research paper is the title, and will immediately
form a view on what they should expect in your
research paper.
Moreover, the title of your research paper is
the only aspect that will be freely available to
readers through search engines or indexing
databases. It is therefore imperative that you
write a clear, persuasive title that leads readers
to know more about your research.
5 Steps in Writing a Good Research Title
1. Ask yourself these questions and write down all
the answers.
a. What is my paper about?
My paper studies the effects on the academic
performance of the students if their parents are separated.
b. What techniques/ designs to be used?
It should be a purposive unstructured interview, and
phenomenological design will be used.
c. Who/what is being studied? When /where it happens?
I would like to study five students from Landy National
High School.

a. the subject matter or research problem;
b. the setting or locale of study;
c. the respondents or involved in study; and
d. the time or period when the study was
conducted.
Guidelines in the Formulation of a Research Title
2. Titles are usually in the form of a phrase but cannot
be in the form of a question.
3. Rarely use abbreviations or acronyms unless they
are commonly known.
4. Identify key variables, both dependent and
independent.
5. The title must be broad enough to include all
aspects of the study but should be brief and
concise as possible.
6. The use of terms as “Analysis of “, “A study of”, “An
Investigation of” and the like should be avoided.
Guidelines in the Formulation of a Research Title
7. If the title contains more than one line, it should be
written in an inverted pyramid.
8. When typed or encoded in the title page, all
words in the title should be in CAPITAL LETTERS.
9. Use correct grammar and capitalization with all
first words and last words capitalized, including the
first word of a subtitle. All nouns, pronouns, verbs,
adjectives, and adverbs that appear between the
first and last words of the title are also capitalized.
Guidelines in the Formulation of a Research Title
10. If possible, the title should not be longer than 15
substantive words.
11. Avoid a long, detailed title that gives too much
information.
12. To shorten the title, delete the terms assessment
or evaluation if these are already emphasized in
the text.
The Subtitle
Subtitles are quite common in social science research
papers (Balch2012). Here are the reasons why you may
include a subtitle:
1. Explains or provides additional context;
Example
LINGUISTIC ETHNOGRAPHY AND THE STUDY OF WELFARE
INSTITUTIONS AS A FLOW OF SOCIAL PRACTICES: THE
CASE OF RESIDENTIAL CHILD CARE INSTITUTIONS AS
PARADOXICAL INSTITUTIONS
The Subtitle
2. Adds substance to a literary, provocative, or
imaginative title;

Example:

LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY, NOT HOW I VOTE:


PEOPLE’S SUPPORT FOR THE MUNICIPAL
MAYOR IN SANTA CRUZ
AND AT HOME
The Subtitle
3. Qualifies the geographic scope of the research;

Example:

THE GEOPOLITICS OF THE ISLAND PROVINCE OF


MARINDUQUE: THE CASE OF
POLITICAL DYNASTY
The Subtitle
4. Qualifies the temporal scope of the research;

Example:

A COMPARISON OF GANITO KAMI NOON VS PANAHON


NA NAMIN NGAYON: SOCIETAL INFLUENCES ON
SOCIAL MEDIA
The Subtitle
5. Focuses on investigating the ideas, theories, or work of
a particular individual

Example
