TITLING TECHNICAL REPORTS FOR OPTIMUM USE AND RETRIEVAL

Abstract

Technical reports need proper titles to prevent information loss and save reading time. Fortunately, the requirements of use and retrieval are completely compatible. Main titles should employ standard terminology and should be specific, precise, short, and unclassified. Subtitles should be used and should cover secondary-level information, such as extent of subject coverage, type of approach, action taken, and results achieved. Good title-subtitle units may be composed in a few minutes' time.
