什么样的论文标题会吸引读者?
优秀的英文学术论文标题怎么写?
标题作为一篇文章是否能被检索到的第一要素之一,可以说是整个文章的“形象大使”,是读者对该论文最直接了解的窗口。
标题的选择一定要清楚、简洁、简洁、简洁,还是简洁 (三遍不够表达重要性!)。 能让同行读者产生兴趣,也能够让外行读者看懂,不要刻意去使用生僻单词来彰显文章的高冷,一个不被阅读的文章跟垃圾桶的稿纸没有区别。
先来一个例子感受下。
The effect of heating the albumen and vitellus of the gallus domesticus contained in calcium carbonate in H2O to 373.15 K
怎么样,是不是感觉很专业,很高端,很决然的划清了你与学霸之间的最后一丝可能,开始否定自己,怀疑人生?NO! 不要悲伤,你应该比你想象中的要优秀!
当这个标题改写为
Boiling a chicken egg in water
是不是惊喜的发现小学的词汇量已经完全hold住了场面?!(感谢小学英语老师)是的,没错,学术论文的标题就应该是这样,直击要点,避免啰嗦,拒绝高冷。(以上例子来自Elsevier的投稿指南)
我是认真分割线
我们以知名期刊Nature和JPCC (The Journal of Physical Chemistry C)的Author Guidelines为例,来分析下一个合格的标题应该具备什么样的标准。
A title should be the fewest possible words that accurately describe the content of the paper. Omit all waste words such as "A study of ...", "Investigations of ...", "Observations on ...", etc. Indexing and abstracting services depend on the accuracy of the title, extracting from it keywords useful in cross-referencing and computer searching.

译文:标题应该使用尽可能少的单词来准确的描述文章的主题。抛弃多余的单词如"A study of ...", "Investigations of ...", "Observations on ...", etc. 索引和文摘检索服务取决于标题的准确度,计算机检索和交叉引用是从标题中提取有用的关键字。
The title should be specific and informative and be in Title Case. Using keywords in the title assists in effective literature retrieval. The title, authorship, and institutional affiliations should be included on a single page. Avoid using common phrases such as “investigation” “study,” “demonstration”, or “performance evaluation”, uncommon acronyms, and words such as “First”, “Novel”, “Facile”, and “One Pot” in the title and abstract.
