conducted (if the title becomes too long
because of these elements, the

all aspects of the study but should be brief
and concise as possible.

TITLE
8
1. A title should give readers information
about the contents of the research and is
preferable to one that is vague or general.
2. Titles do not need to be stuffy or dull but
they should generally give readers some
idea at the outset of what the research
paper will contain.
3. Choose a title that is a phrase rather than
a complete sentence.
4. Select a straightforward title over other
kinds. 9
5. Use no punctuation at the end of a title.
6. Do not underline the title of research or
enclose it in quotation marks, instead,
use a word processing program or printer
that permits italics. Use them in place of
underlining.
