SUMMARY — THE REDUCTIONThis review discusses how crafting a clear, keyword-rich manuscript title can increase an article's citation rate.
Abstract, as published

A journal article's title gives authors one chance to make a first impression and communicate succinctly the findings from their important research. The goal of a research article rests in disseminating information. Both authors and academic journals benefit from increasing the number of times an investigation is cited. A scientific manuscript title accurately summarizes the research using key words that can be identified with search engines. This review aims to condense evidence-based research to improve a scientific manuscript title for both clarity and impact.
