I would agree. I think a strong Title and Abstract are important for research purposes. I was able to do more effective research in grad school with those things and I worked to make my papers the same way. In this age of search engine indexing your paper is more likely to be found if those things are strong. I think picking good keywords for those as well is a good idea so the work gets read.
