Q: Should the study design be mentioned when writing the thesis title?
Asked on 04 Dec, 2018
A thesis title should be written clearly, briefly, and should contain important keywords that define the nature of the study. Think about terms people would use to search for your study and include them in your title.
Avoid: Effects of drug A on schizophrenia patients: a study of a multicenter mixed group
Better: Psychosocial effects of drug A on schizophrenia patients: a multicenter randomized controlled trial
So I'd suggest that you mention the study design if it defines your study.
