1. 思考以下问题
• What have I found that will attract attention?
• What is new, different and interesting about my findings?
• What are the 3–5 key words that highlight what makes my research and my findings unique?
2. 如何使得我们的标题更具活力
每个词都应该有意义
S1. *A study of the factors affecting the trihyroxyindole procedure for the analysis of deoxyri-bonucleic acid
S2. *An investigation into some psychological aspects of English pronunciation
修改后：
S3. Factors affecting the trihyroxyindole procedure for the analysis of deoxyribonucleic acid
S4. Some psychological aspects of English pronunciation
Similar words that are often redundant are: inquiry, analysis, evaluation, and assessment.
然而，像study和investigation这样的词可能会让你的研究听起来不那么结论性，也就是更加谦虚一点。但也可以改成：
S7. Some determinants of customer satisfaction
S8. Determinants of customer satisfaction
也可以用问句或者两部分的情况：
S9. Old age: A study of diversity among men and women
S10. What factors effect diversity among men and women in old age?
S11. Will women always live longer than men?
3. 带问句的标题
适用于会议论文。不太正式，但是容易引人注意
4. 什么时候用两部分的标题是好的
In these cases the first part poses a question, which the second part answers.
In other cases the second part acts as an explanation for the first part
S1: Consequences of erudite vernacular utilized irrespective of necessity: problems of using long words needlessly
S2: The role of medicine: dream, mirage or nemesis
S3: Telling more than we can know: Verbal reports on mental processes (期刊可能要求两部分都大写)
适用于会议论文, 容易引人注意
5. 哪些单词应该大写
这个视期刊而定，一般有两种情况
1） The first is to capitalize each initial letter, apart from articles ( a, an, the ) and prepositions (e.g. on, by, in, of ).
2）The other is just to capitalize the first letter of the first word, and then to have all the other words in lower case.
**专有名词首字母大写
6. 应该包括什么类型的词
1）尽可能用动词ing形式来代替抽象名词
The Specification and the Evaluation of Educational Software in Primary Schools-----Specifying and Evaluating Educational Software in Primary Schools
Methods for the Comparison of Indian and British Governmental Systems in the 19th century---Methods for Comparing Indian and British Governmental Systems in the 19th century
A Natural Language for Problem Solution in Cross Cultural Communication------A Natural Language for Solving Problems in Cross Cultural Communication
Silicon Wafer Mechanical Strength Measurement for Surface Damage Quantification------Quantifying Surface Damage by Measuring the Mechanical Strength of Silicon Wafers
认真谨慎选择关键词，
Try to choose adjectives that indicate the unique features of your work, e.g. low cost, scalable, robust, powerful. Adjectives such as reliable should only be used if work in your field has so far only produced an unreliable system or unreliable results.
7. 我应该用什么其他标准来决定是否包含某些词
可以在网上搜某个词的使用频率。如果频率过低，关注是否是母语人士，在什么背景下用这个词
innovative and novel 在标题中对研究新颖性的强调结构并不理想。More explicit adjectives to replace novel could be: computerized, guaranteed, high-performance, low-cost, minimal-stress, no-cost, pain-free.
8. 如何将标题变短
1）用更短的词
图1
缩短标题的其他办法
• choose the shortest word (for more examples see Sect. 5. 8)
• remove redundant words (see Sect. • 5. 3)
• use verbs rather than nouns (see Sects. • 5.4 and 5.5)
9. 避免用名词串，除非是正确的，常用的名词串
10. 标题中可以使用介词
介词使用
可以使用介词，of也可以多次使用，用介词时需要注意a/an,the 的使用
11. Are articles (a / an, the) necessary?
答案是通常情况下不能被省略，哪怕句子会变长
S1. *Survey of importance of improving design of internal systems
S2. A survey of the importance of improving the design of internal systems
1）A general rule of English is that a countable noun that is in the singular must be preceded by an article. In S1, survey is a singular countable noun, so it must be preceded by either a or the. 不是特指所以是a
2) another general grammatical feature of English is that if you have the following sequence of words: noun1 + of + noun2, then noun1 is preceded by the. This is because noun1 is used to specify noun2.
3) The last noun in S1 is countable but it is plural (systems) and unspecified (we know that the systems are internal, but we do not know which internal systems they are). In such cases, no article is required.
不可数名词前面不加the
S3. Lack of protective immunity against reinfection with hepatitis C virus
S4. Feedback and optimal sensitivity
S5. Vibration analysis for electronic equipment
一些标题加不加the意思不一样
S6. The factors that determine depression. 所以因素被考虑到
S7. Factors that determine depression.部分因素被考虑到
Sometimes the use of the does not follow the same rules as in general English. 也会出现特例，最好在晚上搜一下类似的标题比较
