The first thing that is usually seen or read is the research title. Well-

research titles, but not all, they follow this kind of format in formulating their
research titles.
The Elements of a Research Title:

serves as guide in conducting the statement of the research problem. Take note
that for some research titles, some elements are not presented but can be seen
in the statement of the problem.
1. AIM (purpose)- answers the question, why do I want to conduct this study? A
problem statement should imply the purpose of conducting the study.
2. TOPIC (subject matter)- answers the question, what do I want to study about?
The problem statement should contain the topic of interest of the researcher.
3. PLACE (Locale)- answers the question, where do I conduct the study? The

capitalized, including the first word of a subtitle. All nouns, pronouns,

The Subtitle
Subtitles are quite common in social science research papers. Examples of why
you may include a subtitle:
1. Explains or provides additional context, e.g., "Linguistic Ethnography and
the Study of Welfare Institutions as a Flow of Social Practices: The Case of
Residential Child Care Institutions as Paradoxical Institutions."
2. Adds substance to a literary, provocative, or imaginative title, e.g.,
"Listen to What I Say, Not How I Vote: Congressional Support for the
President in Washington and at Home."
3. Qualifies the geographic scope of the research, e.g., "The Geopolitics of
the Eastern Border of the European Union: The Case of Romania-
Moldova-Ukraine."
4. Qualifies the temporal scope of the research, e.g., "A Comparison of the
Progressive Era and the Depression Years: Societal Influences on
Predictions of the Future of the Library, 1895-1940."
5. Focuses on investigating the ideas, theories, or work of a particular
individual, e.g., "A Deliberative Conception of Politics: How Francesco
Saverio Merlino Related Anarchy and Democracy."
