Research Title

1. Research Title

2. Methods Interviews, to elicit people’s view and perspectives in a detailed and comprehensive manner Case studies or detailed investigations to analyze the variables relevant to the subject under study in its own natural settings Participant observation or collecting data by observing the sample in their natural environment Action research, or collaborative inquiry that entails interactive inquiry about the subject including review of records and data driven analysis and identification of underlying causes of the phenomenon by active enquiry

3. Historical research, or studying documents, artifacts, and other materials to gain insight into the group’s behaviors, actions, and other characteristics over a period Phenomenology, or the theoretical study of a phenomenon to describe the “subjective reality" of an event Philosophical research, or intellectual analysis, which involves clarification of definitions, ethical values and norms, and other percepts for the specific field of study

4. How to Construct Your Title Step 1: Ask yourself a few questions about your research paper What does your paper seek to answer and what does it accomplish. Try to answer these questions as briefly as possible, with one or two sentences each. You can create these questions by going through each section of the paper and finding the MOST relevant information.

5. “What is my Paper About?”   “My paper studies how  program volume  affects  outcomes  for  liver transplant patients  on  waiting lists .” “What methods/techniques did I use to perform my study? “I employed a  case study .” “What or who was the subject of my study?”  “I studied  60   cases  of liver transplant patients on a waiting this throughout the  US  aged  20-50 years .” “What were the results?” “My study revealed a  positive correlation  between wait list volume and  negative prognosis  of  transplant procedure.”

6. Step 3: Use these keywords to create one long sentence “This study employed a case study of 60 liver transplant patients around the US aged 20-50 years to assess how the waiting list volume affects the outcome of liver transplantation in patients; results indicate a positive correlation between increased waiting list volume and a negative prognosis after the transplant procedure.” This sentence is obviously much too long for a title, which is why you will trim and polish it in the next two steps.

7. Step 4: Create a working title To create a working title, remove elements that make it a complete “sentence” but keep everything that is most important to what the study is about. Delete all unnecessary and redundant words that are not central to the study or that researchers would most likely not use in a database search.

8. Step 5: Eliminate all extra words or phrases to meet a suitable word count; place keywords at the beginning and end of your title Since the number of patients studied and the exact outcome are not the most essential parts of this paper, remove these elements first: In addition, the methods used in a study are not usually the most searched-for keywords in databases and represent additional details that you may want to remove to make your title leaner. So what is left is:

9. Adding a subtitle If you feel that a subtitle might be needed to give more immediate detail about methodology or sample, you can do this by putting this information after a colon:

10. Some Title Tips to Keep in Mind Write the title after you’ve written your paper and abstract Include all of the essential terms in your paper Keep it short and to the point (~16 words or fewer) Avoid any jargon or abbreviations Use keywords that closely relate to the content of your paper Never include a period at the end—your title is not a sentence
