1. Build engaging headline elements
✔ Set a unique “bait”.
The “bait” could be an intriguing phrase, a vivid image, a meaningful crossword puzzle, or a scenic quote from your article.
✔ Choose key words carefully
Never use overly broad and vague terms such as “society,” “humanity,” “culture,” and “world” to formulate your essay topic.
✔ Provide precise and relevant source or background information
This is the concluding paragraph of the title, and it is necessary to provide the reader with a brief description of the source or background of the content of the paper.
2. Use keywords and descriptive images
V Define the stylistic attributes of the paper
The title of the paper should reflect the primary attributes of a more scholarly paper or a more free-flowing style of presentation.
V Summarise the main idea of the essay in three or fewer words.
Choose three closely related keywords and link them with a semicolon or colon to form a title Concentrate on a subject like “The Great Leap Forward in China during the 1950s”, exploring famine issues related to the impact of famine on agriculture and steel production. Such an investigation might result in a title like “Steel, Land, and Famine”.
V. Selecting Topic Words from the Abstract or Conclusion
Introductions and conclusions are also ideal places to discover keywords that make up a strong title.
3. Drawing on quotes or wordplay
V Select key quotes or phrases from the text.
Quality manuscripts usually excel in scholarship, especially when it comes to citing detailed first-hand accounts.
☞Example: For an article that aims to explore the rules of Shakespeare’s comedies, a well-known saying, “Laughter cures all ills”, is modified to read “Laughter is your best medicine”, which would form the title, e.g. “Congratulations: Your Best Medicine is Laughter – A Study of Shakespearean Comedy”. Study of Shakespearean Comedy Conventions.”
