Document Title missing

Question

I am writing paper for a Journal which should be 10 pt, double column format. It compiles as desired but the title doesnot appear anywhere when i compile it to pdf. Starting lines of the code are:

\documentclass[journal]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\title{Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing}
\section{INTRODUCTION}

Please suggest what to do as I am new to Latex

You simply forgot to put

\maketitle

after your title, which is the command that typesets the title.

The command \title by itself, only defines the title, but doesn't typeset it.

Adding that line, as in the following example

\documentclass[journal]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\title{Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing}
\maketitle
\section{INTRODUCTION}
\end{document}

shows your title.
