1. Research Title
A topic on Practical Research 2
by: Mr. Eric T. Rapirap

2. When the title is poorly constructed that it does
not accurately describe the objective of your
research, it can discredit the value of the entire
research, let alone the implication of your
research findings.
“Never judge a book by its
cover”

3. 1. Use an accurate description of the
subject
2. Do not use abbreviations
3. Do not include the words like “The
Study of”, “Analysis of, “An Investigation
of” as this would lengthen the title

7. 12. Make sure to reflect the tone of the
paper. An academic research paper has a
title which is not casual, or informal, or
does not contain humor.

8. STEPS IN WRITING YOUR RESEARCH
TITLE
A. DETERMING WHAT YOU WANT
TO ACCOMPLISH
C. SHORTEN THE TITLE BY ELIMINATING
UNNECESSARY WORDS
D. CORRECT GRAMMAR AND
PUNCTUATION AND OBSERVE PROPER
FORMATTING
Write one to two sentences
to state the main objectives
of your research project.
Revise the sentences into
one complete sentence
that includes important
keywords and variables of
the study.
You may also shrink a phrase
into a simpler phrase or a
single word. In doing this,
make sure that the main
thought of the research
study is retained.
The format may vary
according to the
requirements of the
course or school.
Please seek guidance
from your teacher or
professor.
b. INCLUDE IMPORTANT KEYWORDS AND
VARIABLES
