neutral  Mikhail Kropotov: Possible, but a bit too ambitious. For instance, it is a fitting title for a whole book, but not an article.

agree  Sergey Strakhov

  -> Thank you, Sergey

agree  Jim Tucker (X): "on" for "О(б)" in titles, yes, though omission may not be as radical as you suggest to Milena, and would also work in many cases, even for an article - it's "muscular" // Agree abt newspapers.
26 mins
  -> I would imagine it should be driven by whether the article is scientific. A newspaper article should do without "On." Thank you, Jim
