英文论文题名编辑的基本原则

       题名的基本要求: 准确(Accuracy)、简洁(Brevity)、清楚(Clarity)。

       英文题名最好不超过10–12个单词(尽量控制在100个字符以内)；如若能用一行文字表达, 就尽量不要用两行；在内容层次较多、难以简化的情况下, 最好采用主、副题名相结合的方法；题名开头避免使用Thoughts on ..., Regarding …, Study…等泛词。

       题名应清晰地反映文章的具体内容和特色, 力求简洁有效、重点突出; 尽可能将表达核心内容的主题词放在题名开头; 慎重使用缩略语; 避免使用化学式、上下角标、特殊符号(数字符号、希腊字母等)、公式等，以防止数据库中题名信息的损失。

       用于期刊中页眉的眉题(Running Title)是论文题名的缩写，一般不超过40个字符；眉题应包含论文中最核心的内容。

英文论文题名的句法问题

       由于题名比较简短, 无需主、谓、宾齐全，因此一定要注意句法问题。如果词语间的修饰关系使用不当, 就会影响读者的理解；通常情况下由最能反映论文核心内容的主题词扩展, 形容词应与其所修饰的名词紧密相邻。如：

       差: Cars blamed for pollution by scientist (科学家造成的污染归罪于汽车)

       好: Cars blamed by scientist for pollution (科学家将污染归罪于汽车)

       差: Mechanism of suppression of nontransmissible pneumonia in mice induced by newcastle disease virus (该题名的本意应是pneumonia was induced, 而不是mice was induced)

       好: Suppression mechanism of nontransmissible pneumonia induced in mice by newcastle disease virus (小鼠中新城病病毒诱导的非传染性肺炎的抑制机理)

       题名中通常需要较多地使用介词，一定要注意确保介词前后名词的关系清楚、意思明晰。如：

       Anesthetic management of carotid surgery (颈动脉外科中的麻醉处理, of 应修改为 for)

       差: 14C sampler in air (在空气中的14C取样器)

       好: A sampler for 14C in air (空气中14C取样器 ¾采集空气中14C的取样器）

       差: Formulation of equations of vertical motion of finite element form for vehicle-bridge interaction system

       好: Finite element based formulations for vehicle-bridge interaction system considering vertical motion (车桥相互作用系统有限元形式的竖向运动方程)
