昨天学习的是How to write and publish a scientific paper (2016) 这本书中介绍的撰写论文标题的内容，今天再来看看另一本书怎么讨论这个问题的。

Chapter 5 How to Compose the Title (Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers: A Primer for the Non-English Speaker, 2021)

正如作者（Gábor Lövei）在引言中所介绍的，他也是上一本书（How to write and publish a scientific paper (2016) ）的忠实读者，所以很多看法与上一本书存在相同的观点。

比如，他也认为一个好的标题必须准确，简单，简短。

The main requirements of a good title can be formulated briefly and sharply: be precise, simple, and short. The best title is one that gives the most accurate information about the content of the paper with the fewest possible words.

再比如，他也强调不要使用缩写语，行话，还要注重句法问题（词序）。

关于这一点，作者提供了一个很好的建议：当你犹豫是否要使用某个词汇的时候，试着问问自己他人是否可以通过搜索引擎找到该词？

In case of doubt, it often helps to ask the question “would anyone find this word if searching in an index?” If possible, unusual words and other non-general terminology should also be avoided.

关于在什么时候写论文的标题，本书作者提供了很实用的建议：刚开始写作的时候，可以草草地写下几个关键词，充当一个临时的标题；当写作进行到大约1/3的时候，因为此时内心已经大概知道所要强调的重点是什么，所以就可以返回头去重新思考标题，写出一个暂定的标题；到最后，当你完成论文的初稿之后，再回过头去重新审视标题，并推敲出最终的标题。

My suggestion is to spend a little time at an early stage in the writing process, and jot down a few key words that you feel should be in the title. This will be your provisional title. After this stage, the title can be put aside, and you can start working on other parts of the manuscript. At about one third of the way into the writing process, return to the title. Now you will have a clearer idea of how long the paper will be, what the focus will be, and which aspects will be emphasised. Keeping these points, and your intended audience, in mind, try to formulate a more complete working title. Finally, near the completion of the manuscript, when virtually all the writing is done, consider the title again, and decide on the final title.

这样读下来，我发现本书作者确实是在努力的补充上述那本书的内容，而且还是能够收获新的启发的，所以接下来还继续将两本书进行对比阅读。
