TOP TIP # 10 - "The title is tentative"

For the first part of this semester we have been focusing on the title of your research topics, considering a phenomenon to be studied, a population group to study, an industry or type of business, a geographical area and whether the study is qualitative or quantitative.  In other words, we've been thinking about a lot of key parts to the study you will propose to do. 

However, remember that especially the early stages of research (that you are busy with at the moment) are iterative, meaning that you need to go through cycles of considering the title, the background, the problem, the key questions, the objectives and the rationale. It is possible that some of the key elements you decided in your title will change when you go through these iterations... so this is a reminder that your title is tentative. In other words, you need to keep coming back to the title to see if it is still an accurate reflection of your project.
