Введение: Являясь одним из самых значимых элементов структурной организации эмпирической статьи, её заглавие имеет свои структурные, функциональные и стилистические особенности. Заглавие призвано точно отражать суть исследования, оставаясь лаконичным и понятным для читателя. Формулирование заглавия является одним из самых сложных этапов написания научной статьи и, к сожалению, авторам не всегда удается добиться его эффективного прочтения. Отсюда необходимым является изуче- ние стратегий конструирования заглавия научной статьи.

Выводы

Выводы: Материал данной редакционной статьи поможет авторам оптимизировать стратегии формулирования заглавий научных статей и будет способствовать их продвижению в наукометрических базах данных и повышению их цитируемости.

Introduction

Introduction. Being one of the most significant elements of the structural organization of a research article, its title has its own structural, functional and stylistic distinctions. The title should accurately reflect the essence of the study, while remaining concise and under­standable to the reader. Research article title design is one of the most difficult stages of research article writing and, unfortunately, the authors do not always manage to enhance its efficient perception. Hence, it is necessary to study the strategies for a research article title design.

Purpose

Purpose. The editorial aims at analyzing the structural features of the research articles titles and describing their best design practices.

Materials and Methods

Materials and Methods. Based on the analysis of research article titles from Russian jour­nals on the food and processing industry from the period of 2019–2022, the most common strategies for the design of research articles titles by Russian authors were identified.

Results

Results. The analysis of the title characteristics is presented. Strategies for title design are described. The checklist and stages of the research article title design are analyzed. Com­ments regarding typical shortcomings in the research article title design are given.

Conclusions

Conclusions. The material of this editorial will help the authors optimize their strategies for research article title design and will enhance their visibility in scientometric databases and increase their citation.
