Your dissertation title is your first chance to signal what you're studying and why it matters. A colon is common in academic titles but not required. Make it clear enough that readers know exactly where you're headed.
One of the things that's important in an outline is the title. It's the beginning of your journey, so you want to get your title dialed in pretty quickly. It should reflect your problem and your purpose. Be clear. You know, some people think that if you put a colon in a title, it's going to be accepted more easily. I haven't found that to be the case, but many times you see titles in article, you know, peer reviewed articles as well as dissertations as having a colon. Maybe it is a secret, but you want a title that lets the reader know where you're going. If you want help with your dissertation outline, join our Free Dissertation Help Community.
