Yes you are right. It is necessary to correctly approach the title of the article. This will allow readers to immediately appreciate what is at stake. This will improve the search for the article through the search engines of the Internet and RG

In my opinion if the titles are eye-catching researchers provoke to read the topic. However, paying attention just to topic can not be a good criteria to measure. There are various aspects that can be effective.

Agreed with Pushkin

Of course if the title is effective,it will draw the reader attention to seek for the article content.

This depends on the title if it is good and is noticeable. In addition, all those with a specialization are looking for their own

So, do you think that a usual (deja vu), boring title can destroy the content of an article in terms of reading interest even if that content is outstanding? It seems that there are cases of zero(0)readers for some interesting papers.

I agree with Aparna Sathya Murthy

Yes Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak. The first chance to tantalize and grab a reader's attention is the title. The second chance is the abstract. If both of them are mediocre no chance to get a read or a recommendation.

I think it is influential!

Next time I will survey supportive RG members to choose my best title among a series of proposals. I will ask you which one do you like.

Assalomu alaykum! (Good evening!) Yes, of course. The topic of the article occupies the most basic place. The quality of the article may be good, but no one will read this article if the topic is not chosen correctly. As one scientist told me, when choosing the topic of an article, you need to write the final decision, not "..... influence of", ".....features". (for example, " solution for Covid 19 found")

In my opinion yes the title goes a long way in convincing the reader to continue reading the article. Specially if its under 10 words its very easy to remember as well.

The title should be general enough to return the article when searched for on the internet by area of research, and should be specific enough to highlight the main focus of the paper

Yes.... Concise and informative title of academic papers attract the attention of Readers.

I think so .... A clear informative title with concise abstract draw much more attention and increase the readership of this article!

Yes, this is an important reason to increase the number of readers

This is certainly something that can attract readers and helps to spread good works.

Title is an important part of the article. It condenses article content in a few words and captures readers’ attention. A good title for a research article is the one which, on its own, is able to introduce the research work to the fullest extent, but in a concise manner. Writing scientific titles that are informative and attractive is a challenging task https://www.researchgate.net/publication/292976399_Formulating_the_Right_Title_for_a_Research_Article

The “title” and the “abstract” are the “initial impressions” of a research article, and hence they need to be drafted correctly, accurately, carefully, and meticulously. Often both of these are drafted after the full manuscript is ready. Most readers read only the title and the abstract of a research paper and very few will go on to read the full paper. The title and the abstract are the most important parts of a research paper and should be pleasant to read. The “title” should be descriptive, direct, accurate, appropriate, interesting, concise, precise, unique, and should not be misleading. The “abstract” needs to be simple, specific, clear, unbiased, honest, concise, precise, stand-alone, complete, scholarly, (preferably) structured, and should not be misrepresentative. The abstract should be consistent with the main text of the paper, especially after a revision is made to the paper and should include the key message prominently. It is very important to include the most important words and terms (the “keywords”) in the title and the abstract for appropriate indexing purpose and for retrieval from the search engines and scientific databases. Such keywords should be listed after the abstract. One must adhere to the instructions laid down by the target journal with regard to the style and number of words permitted for the title and the abstract. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6398294/

Yes, the title of your paper has significant impacts on the reading. In fact, it is the first thing that either attracts or discourages potential readers from reading your publication

The title lets a person read further and most important is a well-written abstract. This will increase full paper reading.

No guarantee but the title has a role to attract readers.

Yes, the paper title should be interesting to the people in your area for them to read.

The clear title of the article matters.

Kassim Boudjelal Safir

Dear Professor,

Thank you for the interesting question.

If the title of the paper consists of some words that are of prime importance or easily recognizable, then that title becomes effective. And, such titles attract attention easily. Thus, the readership of such papers reach high numbers.

So, my answer to your question would be 'yes'.

Best regards,

Anamitra.

Exactly yes

Dear @Kassim Boudjelal Safir To my opinion, the title of the paper should be short and informative, and carrying the "essence" of the article. A carefully worded, eye-catching title fetches more attention of not only the readers, but also of editors and reviewers.

The title of our manuscript is usually the first introduction readers (and reviewers) have to our work. Therefore, we must select a title that grabs attention, accurately describes the contents of the manuscript, and makes people want to read further. Further details can be accessed at:

https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/authorandreviewertutorials/writing-a-journal-manuscript/title-abstract-and-keywords/10285522

It is essential, it would be said, taking into account also the level of interest of the people with whom you interact

Dear Dr. Kassim Boudjelal Safir , I agree with Dr. Arbind K. Choudhary - he pointed out that "we must select a title that grabs attention"-

I think it is in our genes.

We pick an apple or any fruit by just looking at how it appears externally, this is the first criteria in decision making.

The Five Senses prevail. Only if it passes this screening, we think (rational behaviour).

I think the title is very important.

Thanks for the nice opportunity.

Best regards

Yoganandan

It plays an important role.

No. I have seen many widely cited academic magazine articles.

@Yoganandana ,l do agree that the title plays great role . Its actually the face of the content inside.

Of course. Depending on the interest rate of each researcher.

Estoy de acuerdo un titulo q llame la atención y sea sugerente atrae a los lectores a recomendar o seguir su artículo sin leerlo completo.

Of course it does, as the RG ratings often indicate. However authors often confuse an effective title with a common title. For instance a title like "Innovative entreprenneurship in the USA" will probably ensure a lots of reads since the subject will appear on top of the search engines. However this title obviously shows that the paper is not innovative. So authors face a dilema regarding the paper's title: Either choose a catchy title to ensure lots of reads or choose a special title that will imply the innovativeness of the research (if there is any of that...).

Yes! The title plays a great role. It must clearly show what is about the paper! It needs a careful consultation while setting the title.
