The title may be a little more important than you think, minor tipbit from a friend who works for a company analysing citations and public interest in science. (so no good citation to back this up)
A question mark "?" in the title correlates with approx ~10% lower mentions on twitter and slightly lower citations, a colon ":" approx 10% more.
Interesting. Of course, the confounders are potentially huge - titles with ? are probably weaker results.
Very true, they're also likely less attention grabbing.
Interesting. I would have expected that to be the other way round, since in my experience colons are more common in very lengthy or jargon-laden titles, and pithy ones often have question marks.
