From the Terre Blanche textbook:
THE TITLE
The title should convey the gist of your research. It should not be too lengthy (five or ten words
should suffice”.
“Leave out words like ‘study’, ‘investigation’ and ‘research’.
‘…the title should not be so brief that is becomes obscure”.
“After reading the title of an article, the reader should have a fair idea of the articles main focus.”
“It can also be useful to begin a title with a short catchy phrase.”
(Terre Blanche, Durrheim, & Painter, 2006, p. 122)
