TITLE
 3 Basic tips on writing a
good research paper title
Accdg to Sneha Kulkarni 
1] Keep it simple, brief and attractive: 
 The primary function of a title is to provide a
precise summary of the paper’s content. So keep
the title brief and clear.
 Use active verbs instead of complex noun-based
phrases, and avoid unnecessary details.
 a good title for a research paper is typically
around 13 to 15 content words long. A lengthy
title may seem unfocused and take the readers’
attention away from an important point.
2] Use appropriate descriptive words: 
• A good research paper title should contain key
words used in the manuscript and should define
the nature of the study.
• Think about terms people would use to search for
your study and include them in your title.
3] Avoid abbreviations and jargon
•  Known abbreviations such as AIDS, NATO, and so
on can be used in the title.
• However, other lesser-known or specific
abbreviations and jargon that would not be
immediately familiar to the readers should be
left out.

 SAMPLE PROPOSED INNOVATION,
INTERVENTION & STRATEGY
III. Proposed Innovation, Intervention and Strategy
Project WRITE - Writing Research for Innovation towards Transformative Education is an
innovation purposefully design to enhance the research productivity level of the school leaders and teachers
among the elementary schools of Lupi District, Schools Division Office of Camarines Sur in the first and
second quarters of SY 2020-2021.
The systems theory will be applied in the implementation of the proposed innovation,
interventions and strategies in which perspective looks into the holistic view of the organization and the
interrelationships of its parts. This outlook holds a strong connection to utilize systems analysis approach to
determine the needs to be done in order to attain a stated goal effectively which is enhancing the research
productivity level of the respondents through Project WRITE. It is within this project that systems approach
will be used as strategy which utilizes analysis, design, and management to attain stated goals effectively
and efficiently by recognizing the input, transformational process and output to determine the appropriate
and suitable interventions or strategies to enhance the research productivity level of the school leaders and
school research and development coordinators in the district. Inputs provides personnel, financing, theory,
and knowledge about action research in which human and material resources available in the district will be
utilized to carry-out the main purpose of this study. While the Transformational Process includes the
creation of internal operations and its system of operational management of the proposed innovation,
interventions and strategies by utilizing the resource persons’ technical competence in action research in
transforming the inputs into outputs. Henceforth, the Outputs centered on the enhancement of the research
productivity level of the respondents and the effectiveness of Project WRITE as a whole.
