My essay centers on what must be the most famous title page in literature (figure I). The printed title, ‘Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, Published according to the True Originall Copies’, surmounts his engraved portrait, signed ‘Martin Droeshout sculpsit, London’. This is the title page of the first folio (1623), repeated in the second folio (1632), and is for us so famous that it has come to seem normative. But there are several peculiar, and even anomalous, things about it. First, the fact that the portrait is on the title page. Normally the author's portrait, especially if it is engraved, will be facing the title page, as a frontispiece — especially if it is engraved, because it is quite difficult to combine typesetting and engraving on the same page. If the portrait had been a woodcut, there would have been no problem: woodcuts can be printed on the same press with, and at the same time as, type — in many cases in the period, because of the total compatibility of woodcuts and type, woodcut title pages did service for many other books than the ones they were designed for, to most of which their iconography was entirely irrelevant. Engravings, however, require a quite different printing technique, and the Shakespeare title page therefore would have had to go through two separate processes. The usual way of dealing with this, if one wanted an engraving on the title page, was to engrave the whole page, as was done for Ben Jonson's Workes (1616), Drayton's Poly-Olbion (1613), Chapman's Homer (1611/1616), and innumerable other large, important, expensive books. The publishers of Shakespeare were making trouble for themselves.

This paper presents a methodology for automatic identification of bibliographic data elements from the title pages of books. Also enumerates the various steps like scanning the title pages, running optical character recognition (OCR) software, generating HTML files out of title pages and applying heuristics to identify the bibliographic data elements. Much of the paper deals with the surveys undertaken to analyze the characteristics of various bibliographic descriptive elements like title, author, publisher and other elements. The first survey deals with the sequence of the bibliographic data in the title pages. The second survey deals with the font size, font type and the proximity of each bibliographic element on the title pages. The survey results are then used to develop heuristics, in order to develop a rule‐based expert system which can identify the bibliographic elements on the title pages. The results of the system are presented, along with problems encountered.

The title page and the abstract are essential parts of any research paper or manuscript; therefore, it is vital to write them correctly and well. Why? For one, it is what researchers will use to determine if the manuscript’s content is relevant to their research for inclusion in their study. Two, online databases will use software to scan the abstract and the title page for specific keywords and ideas and use them for indexing. As a result, it is crucial to master the formatting and to understand the content which should be on a title page and inside the abstract to maximize the reach of a research paper. This chapter will delve into what is needed to write a proper title page and the abstract section, as well as providing general tips to keep in mind while drafting and writing.
