hello,

yes Sir, you are absolutely right. Those words which are in the title should not be chosen as key words. Find synonyms to get more hits through search engines.

Hello

I would like to add a point regarding Key words.

In many of the manuscripts the authors repeat the words that are already there in the title or in the abstract. This is useless because if those words are already there in the title or abstract your search would retrieve that article.

however to make it more broad based, keywords are to be selected that would be synonymous to important words or concept to the already existing ones in the title/abstract.

Hello All,

What are "good key words"?

Good key words are the important words or short phrases that specifically describe your topic and closely related topics. They are not long sentences.

How to list key words?

1. First, write one or two sentences about your topic.

2. Next, underline all of the specific words that describe your topic.

3. Make a separate list of these specific words.

4. Add to your list any other words that mean the same thing (synonyms) or are related terms.

5. Think of more words or phrases that describe the larger topic, of which your topic is a part. Add those to the list.
