Tips to develop a research title.
1. Title not necessarily “big”, “grand” and “colourful”. Remember you want to a research- not to save the world!
2. No abstract words please. I you wish to add your “ideals” do it in your discussion…not in your title.
3. Choose title that technically easy to administer (to collect a data). Not too technical (unless its part of you are requirement…think about equipment (its price, fragility, sensitivity etc). think about transportations and communication. Any research emphasizes on analytical ability on difficult and complex variables NOT ability to fall in the trap of complicated difficulty.
4. Use your literature and so call the experienced and inexperience friends and contact around you to develop your title. No harm in asking people’s / friend’s opinion.
5. Ask around or anyone you know related to your chosen topic on areas that need for further research. This will be very helpful in rationalisation of your research in your research proposal.
6.Once you choose it, defend them. If you can’t defend them, take time to develop your title again until you can defend them. Your title should be an exclusive rights to you and supervisor only (unless your sponsor said otherwise). Use seminar, conference or get critical audience to assess your proposal. Pre-assessment is essential to determine the quality of your research proposal. Be ready for constructive and not so constructive criticism at this stage. That is part and parcel of developing your research.
Any other tips? anyone?
