The Title is the label of your submission and the most-read element. It should be brief with as few words as possible (<20), and informative:

• describe contents accurately
• describe subject specifically
• omit verbs
• must be easy to understand
• must be suitable for indexing
• make most important words stand out (order!)
• don’t promise more than what is in the proposal
• cut unnecessary words (e.g. “some notes on ….”)
• avoid abbreviations and jargon

Form the title following the rule: “as general as permissible, as specific as required”!

Keywords are terms for indexing. Select the key words carefully considering the following:

• Do not repeat title words
• Move Latin words or specialized terms from title to keywords
• Use higher hierarchy words from the title-making exercise
• Use terms that are useful for indexing
• List the 4-5 most relevant terms in alphabetic order
