1. To attract the potential audience and aid retrieval and indexing, you may consider including several keywords and providing the maximum information for a computerized title search.

2. Choose terms that are as specific as the text permits, e.g., “a vanadium–iron alloy” rather than “a magnetic alloy”. If possible, avoid phrases such as “on the”, “a study of ”, “research on”, “report on”, “regarding”, and “use of ”. In most cases, omit “the” at the beginning of the title. Avoid nonquantitative, unnecessary words such as “rapid” and “new”.

3. Spell out all terms in the title, and avoid jargon, symbols, formulas, and abbreviations. Whenever possible, use words rather than expressions containing superscripts, subscripts, or other special notations. Do not cite company names, specific trademarks, or brand names of chemicals, drugs, materials, or instruments. If absolutely necessary, authors may use extremely common abbreviation/acronyms/initialisms or mathematical expressions. (e.g. PDE, π)
