To catch the audience’s attention, it is advisable to have a captive and modern title. Thus, when reading the title, the audience should be interested in reading the rest of the paper.

It is necessary to title each section of writing. The title must describe the main paper topic. Capitalize all words with certain exceptions and do not underline the title. 

The qualitative headline must be attention-grabbing, coherent, in an active voice, credible, concise and accurate. The title is the first thing the reader will see.
