Publication after thesis completion: towards perfection.


Your thesis is the culmination of a long and arduous period of research, study and contemplation of subject matter. However, it does not truly become part of the global scholarly research body until it is compiled and presented in a flawless published form. While many researchers are highly skilled, they do not know how to get past their thesis completion stage to perfect publication due to overlooking many crucial aspects of publications; the standard format, choice of journal, adherence to ethic and method of submission are the main ones.


In today's extremely competitive research world, in which our research can be tracked globally on the indexing platforms like Google Scholar, small errors could result in our work being accepted or rejected; and it could affect our credibility and future research. Therefore, in order to successfully achieve a publication based on your thesis you need skills beyond the one of writing. You have to take an organised, strategic, methodical and most importantly meticulous approach. The first requirement towards the perfect publication is a clear strategy for your future publication. You have to decide what you wish your output to be as you have to rewrite your thesis in the most appropriate format of publication whether they are articles, a book or thesis for repositories. Following this, you are then required to rewrite and shorten your thesis. You cannot expect your work to be accepted as a long thesis document; the journals expect the precise findings of your research in a research paper form. Usually, a single thesis consists of multiple articles and you would have to remove unnecessary chapters from your thesis work. Literature validation must be adequate; you need to update all your references and search for relevant researches to identify the gap, as well as present a robust methodology. You should maintain proper academic structure; most journals are published in a particular format, for example, the standard structure for any article consists of title, abstract, introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion and references. You have to give precise and clear titles and present well written abstracts, so that the article is discoverable and can be properly indexed. Any instance of plagiarism is strictly unacceptable, and appropriate methods of re-phrasing, referencing, and also checking your work on plagiarism tools is mandatory. The consistency of using appropriate references, for example, APA or MLA or Harvard styles is necessary. Clear academic language will make your publication a pleasure to read, avoid any ambiguous sentences or jargon and minimize grammatical mistakes. When choosing your publication you need to consider the journal's scope and impact factors, as well as its general requirements regarding submissions. In case you need to present further research it must be based on clear methodologies and provide significant contributions. It is mandatory that all publications must comply with ethical standards and this can be achieved through accurate referencing of all works used as well as ensuring that you do not make any fraudulent claim.


The successful completion of a publication after your thesis completion is a formal and structured process; with patience and strategy anyone can achieve perfection at this stage, thus helping to be globally recognized as an authority in their field.
