The purpose of a piece of scientific writing is to present information clearly and concisely so that it can be easily understood. Clarity therefore begins with the title.
In scientific and technical writing, a poetic or stylized title does not help the reader at all. For example, the following title
Wired up or Behind the Wire
do not tell the reader that the paper is about monitor and control functions provided by network applications. However, this titleController Area Networks ( CANs)
tells the reader very clearly what the subject of the paper is.
