This study analyzes titles of research works published in a nursing journal in 1997 and 1998. Data were collected through forms and organized by using the EPI-INFO 6.0 computer program. The analysis was based on recent national and international literature concerning the analysis of research reports. Results, which have been disposed in tables, showed that most of the analyzed articles presented a partly adequate titles in relation to variables, studied populations and/or key words It was concluded that the evaluation of titles in nursing research still requires more attention since a large number of databases aused by researchers only publicize research work means of its titles.

RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.
Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
 Authors are fully responsible for the concepts disseminated in their manuscripts, which do not necessarily reflect the editors’ and editorial board’s opinion.
