+ | "The Matthew effect in science, II: Cumulative advantage and the symbolism of intellectual property" may seem like an odd title to include here. It is not a stellar title. However, the author spends the first part of the introduction talking about the title and concludes "An obscure title can also have a latent function: to keep one from assuming that the title truly speaks for itself, and thus to make it necessary to elucidate one’s intent." | ||

+ | Avoid a title that is overly specific as well. Including the scientific name of the organism, the geographic location of study, or method details in the title makes it sound overly specific and not relevant to the reader. "RFLP variation and null alleles in //Acipenser baerii// sturgeons of the Yenisei River basin" will not get as much readership or interest as "Gene flow between fragmented populations along a disrupted freshwater corridor" |
