Q: How I can formulate a title for my research paper?

It is important to invest time and effort in thinking about an appropriate title for your research paper. The title is the part of the paper that is read first, and often decides whether the reader will go on to read the entire article. Thus, the title should give a precise and clear description of the contents of your paper. 

To begin with, create a working title for your paper. It is important to create a working title at the beginning as it will help you maintain your focus and give a clear sense of direction to your study.

To create the working title, you should consider the following:

• The purpose of the study
• The type of study or article type
• The methodology or approach

The final title should be created at the end after you have written the entire manuscript. At this point, you can ask yourself exactly what the focus of your manuscript is and what key words you would want in the title.

Here are a few suggestions to help you write an appropriate title:

• Ensure that the title clearly indicates what your research is about.
• Keep it brief, informative, and attractive.
• Include relevant descriptive keywords that readers are most likely to search for.
• Avoid using jargon as it might make the title too complicated and difficult to understand.
