Writing Tips #21


:TITLE

 

Make your title specific enough to describe the contents of the paper, but not so technical that only specialists will understand. The title should be appropriate for the intended audience.
  The title usually describes the subject matter of the article: Effect of Group Studying on Academic Performance
  Sometimes a title that summarizes the results is more effective: Students Who Study Alone Get Lower Grades
   
Poor titles :
  •   Cloud Computing
  •   Knowledge Management
  Why? Because they are too general
  Better titles would be :
  •   Resolving Security Issues in Cloud Computing
  •   The Effects of Efficient Knowledge Management In an Organization
  Why? Because the keywords identify a specific action (resolving, finding the effects),area of study ( security, knowledge management) and the platform of the study (cloud computing, organization)
