This document provides guidance on writing proper titles and introductions for research papers. It recommends that titles be concise and informative, between 10-12 words, and avoid clutter words. Good titles adequately describe the paper's contents and capture readers' attention. The introduction should establish the broader topic in step one, indicate a knowledge gap in step two, and state the paper's purpose in step three. Examples of strong and weak titles are also discussed.
