Tip 11: Writing Process 2. Title: Preliminary Version 10. Title: Final Version
If the paper title is poorly written, …
The reader will be unable to know what you have done!
The reader will be unable to capture your message!
“You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression” Old Saying
Imagine you’re entitled to explain the essential of your research to Bill Gates in just 10 s! How do you do that?
The title is intended to capture the reader’s attention with words and terms that highlight the content (or message) of the paper!
Objetivo de um Título q. Espelhar o foco de atenção ou conteúdo essencial do artigo q. Use palavras-chave fortemente associadas aos resultados do artigo
Formato [primeira parte][: Segunda parte] Obrigatória Opcional
Exemplo [primeira parte apenas] Parameter-based Refactoring and the Relationship with Fanin/Fan-out Coupling
Exemplo [primeira parte: Segunda parte] Rubric-referenced Assessment in Teacher Preparation: An Opportunity to Learn by Using
Write a title for the following abstract “This study suggests that students use rubrics to support their own learning and academic performance. In focus groups, fourteen undergraduate students discussed the ways in which they used rubrics to plan an approach to an assignment, check their work, and guide or reflect on feedback from others. The students said that using rubrics helped them focus their efforts, produce work of higher quality, earn a better grade, and feel less anxious about an assignment. Their comments also revealed that most of the students tend not to read a rubric in its entirety, and that some may perceive of a rubric as a tool for satisfying a particular teacher’s demands rather than as a representation of the criteria and standards of a discipline. "
Properties of Good Titles A. Concise A. Clear B. Informative (Very specific, not too broad) C. Relevant to the Target Audience
Why would YOU sooner read the paper on the right? Fail: B and C
Why would YOU sooner read the paper on the right? The Effect of Smoking on Academic Performance Fail: B and C Students Who Smoke Get Lower Grades
Why would YOU sooner read the paper on the right? Animal Testing for Flu Viruses Fail: B and C Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing of Dogs for the H 1 N 1 Virus
What do you think about these titles? “Research on data mining”
“Contributions to Information Theory”
“Some research on job assignment in cluster computing”
“A new framework for distributed computing”. <
All of them are general titles! So, . . .
Avoid general titles!
Additional Properties Avoid abbreviations Avoid parenthesized information Avoid mathematical formulas Avoid using references

Be concise How long should a title be? Two answers: The +- length should be just right 10 to 12 words Occam’s Razor!
Cut the clutter “a study of” “new” “investigation of” “improved” “development of” “novel” “observations on” “validated” “validation” “state of the art”
Exemplo de concisão: Utilização de AVAs 3 D na Educacão a Distância 8 palavras Não é um bom título por outros motivos!
Contraexemplo de concisão: O Ensino do Atletismo por meio de Filmes da Internet: Contribuições das Novas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação para a Educação Física 22 palavras Também não é um bom título por outros motivos!

Be clear There should only be one meaning to a title Show the title to colleagues and see what message they capture from your words
The following titles are clear? H 1 N 1 Virus Testing on Mice Using Polymerase Chain Reaction Treatment of Pediatric Melanoma Patients with Lasers
The following titles are clear now? Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing of Mice for the H 1 N 1 Virus Laser Treatment for Pediatric Melanoma
Be informative Be very specific, not too broad Use Occam’s razor, but keeping the title complete
Make the titles more informative Aplicação de modelos computacionais no ensino de funções do 2º grau com o Modellus Web. Lab um laboratório de acesso remoto controlado através da Internet. Um estudo de caso de um VANT Veículo Aéreo Não Tripulado A televisão Digital no Contexto Educacional
Which one is more informative? Put in order! Effect of Statins on Serum Cholesterol Statins and Cholesterol Statin Therapy Reduces Serum Cholesterol in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease Reduction of Serum Cholesterol with Statin Therapy
Order: Statins and Cholesterol Effect of Statins on Serum Cholesterol Reduction of Serum Cholesterol with Statin Therapy Reduces Serum Cholesterol in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
Order: Statin Therapy Reduces Serum Cholesterol in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease Independent variable (statin therapy) The dependent variable (cholesterol) The observed effect (reduction/increase/no effect) The patient population studied (cardiovascular disease)
Why Not? Reduction of Serum Cholesterol with Statin Therapy in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
Because … “Reduction” is a result of nominalizing verb “reduce”: nominalization! We should avoid to use a nominalization Use instead the correspondent verb!
So … Use: Statin Therapy Reduces Serum Cholesterol in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease Instead: Reduction of Serum Cholesterol with Statin Therapy in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
Improve the title below Produção e utilização de material didático multimídia para estudo de conceitos matemáticos
Use Key Words and Terms Wisely Use the same terms as defined in indexing services (e. g. , ACM/IEEE/SWEBo. K) and search engines (e. g. , Google)
Use Key Words and Terms Wisely Avoid using generic terms such as animal, bacteria, antibiotic, implementation, calculation, evaluation, development, or process! Use the same terms used throughout the paper!
