    This document discusses key aspects of scientific writing, specifically titles. It notes that titles must have clear syntax to avoid grammatical errors. Titles serve as labels to accompany papers and should be useful for indexing systems. Running titles at the top of each page should also be suggested. Titles should be clear, informative, specific about the paper's purpose and approach without mentioning results or conclusions. They should avoid jargon, acronyms, cleverness or being too long or short.

    WHAT IS SCIENTIFIC WRITING
    Scientific writing is a technical form of writing that is designed to
    communicate scientific information to other scientists. Depending on the
    specific scientific genre-a journal article, a scientific poster, or a research
    proposal, for example-some aspects of the writing may change, such as its
    purpose, audience, or organization. Many aspects of scientific writing,
    however, vary little across these writing genres. Important hallmarks of all
    scientific writing are summarized below. Genre-specific information is
    located here and under the "By Genre" tab at the top of the page
    ORIGINS OF SCIENTIFIC WRITING
    Initially this scientific paper was discovered by a scientist who was
    conducting a field study. Which is where he must have ideas that can form
    an essay with the rules of science. So that the results of the research carried
    out can be accounted for. Therefore, the origins of this scientific work are
    based on the results of observation, review, testing and research. So that
    according to a certain method with systematic writing in the language and its
    contents can be accounted for for its correctness and scholarship.
    IMPORTANCE OF SYNTAX
    In titles, be especially careful of syntax. Most of the grammatical errors in titles
    are due to faulty word order. A paper was submitted to the Journal of Bacteriology
    with the title "Mechanism of Suppression of Nontransmissible Pneumonia in Mice
    Induced by Newcastle Disease Virus. " Unless this author had somehow managed to
    demonstrate spontaneous generation, it must have been the pneumonia that was
    induced and not the mice.
    (The title should have read: "Mechanism of Suppression of Nontransmissible
    Pneumonia Induced in Mice by Newcastle Disease Virus
    .
     
    THE TITTLE AS A LABLE
     Because it is not a sentence, with the usual subject, verb, objcct
    arrangement, it is really simpler than a sentence (or, at least, usually
    shorter), but the order of the words becomes even more important.
     Actually, a few journals do permit a title to be a sentence.
     The title should be useful as a label accompanying the paper itself, and it
    also should be in a form suitable for the machine-indexing systems used
    by Chemical Abstracts, Index Medicus, and others
     As an aid to readers, "running titles" or "running heads" are printed at the top
    of each page.
     It is wise to suggest an appropriate running title on the title page of the
    manuscript.
    ABBREVIATIONS AND JARGON
    The title should be clear and informative, and it should reflect the purpose and
    approach of the job.
    • The title should be as specific as possible while still describing the entire job.
    • Do not mention results or conclusions in the title.
    Avoid: too clever or humorous headlines that won't do well in search engines
    or international audiences; titles that are too short to be descriptive or too
    long to read; jargon, acronym, or trademarked term
