- This paper aims to review the titles in a selection of English for academic purposes (EAP) research papers concerning their word numbers, formats and the relation between the formats and the information contents as well as the communicative effects of the formats. For this purpose, forty EAP research paper titles containing the word “title” or “titles” are collected from several international journals and analyzed. The research findings show that some expert authors have created titles with a variety of word numbers and formats, whereas the analysis of the formats reveals their relations to the title information contents and communicative effects of the formats. The study concludes that most of the expert authors have followed the academic conventions that a title should clearly reflect the message of the whole research paper and should be informative, attractive and concise, with the most important information placed at the beginning.
