TITLES OF RESEARCH ARTICLES IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE– AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON TWO LONG-STANDING JOURNALS

Summary/Abstract: Titles of research articles in various science disciplines have been a subject of linguistic and computational research for more than twenty-five years. A wealth of data is currently available on features of titles such as length, structure, and meaning or relations with titles of other written genres, obtained in studies which used discipline specific or cross-disciplinary approaches. The present paper is an exploratory, small scale study of research article titles in a single discipline, Artificial Intelligence (AI) which aims to indicate lines of study for research article titles in this discipline, based on specific features observed, such as title length, preferred syntactic structure of titles and frequency of –ingforms used in titles. Observed all through the life-time of the two publications, at specific points in time, titles of articles in AI can provide insights into the development of knowledge construction in this discipline.
