English for Writing Research papers

11.1   How can I generate a title?
Think about the following questions:
What have I found that will attract attention?

What is new, different and interesting about my findings?

What  are  the  3–5  key  words  that  highlight  what  makes  my  research  and  my  findings 

unique?
On the basis of your answers you should be able to formulate a title.
11.2   How can I make my title more dynamic?
Every word (apart from articles and prepositions) included in the title should add 
significance. The following words in italics rarely add value.
 
S1.  *A study of the factors affecting the trihyroxyindole procedure for the analysis of deoxyri-
bonucleic acid
 
S2.  *An investigation into some psychological aspects of English pronunciation
The first seven words in S1 give the reader no information. S1 and S2 might be 
more dynamic and more concise if the initial redundant words were removed.
 
S3.  Factors affecting the trihyroxyindole procedure for the analysis of deoxyribonucleic acid
 
S4.  Some psychological aspects of English pronunciation
Similar  words  that  are  often  redundant  are:  inquiry,  analysis,  evaluation,  and 
assessment.
However,  words  such  as  study  and  investigation  may  be  useful  to  make  your 
research sound less conclusive. S5 sounds like the authors have made the definitive 
study  (i.e.  the  final  settlement  or  decision)  of  customer  satisfaction,  whereas  S6 
sounds less arrogant and more open.
 
S5.  *The determinants of customer satisfaction
 
S6.  An investigation into the determinants of customer satisfaction
However,  simply  replacing  the  with  some  (S7)  or  removing  it  completely  (S8) 
would also make the research seem less definitive.
 
S7.  Some determinants of customer satisfaction
 
S8.  Determinants of customer satisfaction
Another occasion where words such as study and investigation may be useful is in 
two-part titles. For example:
 
S9.  Old age: A study of diversity among men and women
However, S9 might have more impact as follows:
 
S10.  Old age: diversity among men and women


166
11 Titles
S10 could also be rewritten as a question.
 
S11.  What factors effect diversity among men and women in old age?
But  S11  still  contains  redundancy  and  is  not  particularly  eye-catching.  Better 
might be:
 
S12.  Will women always live longer than men?
