There's More to the Title than Meets the Eye: Exploring the Possibilities
Hartley, James
Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, v37 n1 p95-101 2007
There is little research on the use of titles in academic articles, and even less on different types of titles. In this article Crosby's taxonomy of titles [1] is brought up-to date and extended. Twelve types of titles are distinguished. The author argues that it would be helpful to discuss these different types with student writers.
