writing a manuscript

[Guest guest]

hello,

Some interesting titles from -- www.cyber-spy.com/ebooks/ebooks/Choos...

Compare these two titles:

1. An Interim Report from the Myers Project

2. The Myers Project Interim Report into the Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Memory Retention

Not only does the second title bring the topic phrase ('the Myers Project') to the start of the title, but it also includes additional key words: sleep deprivation and memory retention.

Readers searching using these terms will have an increased chance of finding the document.

Now compare these two titles:

1. A study of the effects of chaos as a source of complexity and diversity in evolutionary processes

2. Chaos as a source of complexity and diversity in evolution

The first title takes seventeen words, the second one ten. The first one contains extra words that convey slightly more information (study, effects and processes) but at the cost of making the title notably longer and less memorable.

Here is another example:

1. A description of a variety of different tools for creating an interactive virtual−cinema environment

2. Tools for interactive virtual cinema

Hope by now you have mastered the art of writing a good title for your research paper .
