running head

A running head is a brief, concise title that appears at the top of each page in a document or publication. It helps readers easily identify the document or section they are viewing, especially in lengthy papers or reports. Typically, it includes a shortened version of the full title or a relevant keyword, along with the page number. Running heads are commonly used in academic papers, professional reports, and journals to maintain organization and ensure that readers can quickly reference specific sections, even when pages are viewed out of context.
