Research Title
When writing a research title, be reminded of the
following tips:
1. Avoid using words that have no useful purpose. The
words methods, results, investigations, study, and
research are redundant when used in a research paper.
2. In most instances, the general statement of the problem
or some of the specific statements of the problem/research
questions can be converted into a title (Convert them
from an interrogative form to a declarative form).

Examples of Research Title
1. Frequency of Tardiness and Level of Support of
Parents among High School Students in Selected Public
Schools
2. Evaluation of the Services of Bangko Sentral ng
