paper that is read the most, and it is usually read first
How to Make research title
• Effective titles in academic research papers have several
characteristics.
• Indicate accurately the subject and scope of the study.
• Avoid using abbreviations.
• Use words that create a positive impression and stimulate reader
interest.
• Use current nomenclature from the field of study.
• Identify key variables, both dependent and independent .
• May reveal how the paper will be organized.
• Suggest a relationship between variables which supports the major
hypothesis.
• Is limited to 10 to 15 substantive words.
• Do not include "study of," "analysis of" or similar constructions.
• Titles are usually in the form of a phrase, but can also be in the form
of a question.
• 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.
• In academic papers, rarely is a title followed by an exclamation mark.
However, a title or subtitle can be in the form of a question .
ELEMENTS OF MAKING RESEARCH TITLE

• RESEARCH GOAL
• INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
• DEPENDENT VARIABLE
• RESEARCH LOCALE
RESEARCH GOAL

• describe what your research is trying to achieve


and explain why you are pursuing it. They
summarize the approach and purpose of your
project and help to focus your research. Your
objectives should appear in the introduction of your
research paper, at the end of your problem
statement
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
• The independent variable is the cause. Its value
is independent of other variables in your study.
DEPENDENT VARIABLE
• A dependent variable is the variable that changes as a
result of the independent variable manipulation. It’s the
outcome you’re interested in measuring, and it “depends”
on your independent variable.
RESEARCH LOCALE

• This discusses the place or setting of the


study. It describes in brief the place where
the study is conducted. Only important
features which have the bearing on the
present study are included
