conference - Can I use abbreviations in the title of a research paper?


Is it a good practice to include an abbreviation in a title of a research paper. for example : PC , IDE , RAM




Answer



It is acceptable if (Edit: and only if) the abbreviation you are using is common (in your field or in general) and there is no risk of confusion.


I have two papers whose titles contain the abbreviation (RD) which stands for (Rapid Decay). Since it is an acceptable abbreviation in our field these titles are fine.


The best way to find out is to check similar papers or titles in your field.
