The Completion of a Thesis to its Final Publication in Perfection.


Every discipline and study program is subject to producing a thesis. However the value of the thesis is realized in its perfect peer-reviewed publication. In the mistaken belief of many researchers that once the thesis has been completed that the work is essentially finished, more research has to be conducted and more meticulous work has to be done. In this highly competitive field of academia where researcher visibility as evaluated through Google Scholar is the deciding factor for one's reputation and reach; even insignificant error in formatting, wrong selection of a journal or lack of ethics might lead to rejection of the submitted manuscript. In this context publication doesn't depend on the quality of research carried out rather the systematic approach with which the work has been polished, formulated and submitted. Clarity, accuracy and compliance to academic standards is crucial while converting a thesis into a global publishable research piece which could attract world's attention.

To start with a research publication strategy should be developed in terms of whether research is to be disseminated through research articles, book or repository. There is significant difference in the modification required in each of them. A thesis has to be reshaped into focused research papers by omitting redundant sections. Most of the publications are rejected due to misfitting content or format to the target journal. It is very important to look into the literature gap to find out its relevance at present in terms of the research conducted. Literature needs to be updated and current trends need to be addressed. Strong, clear methodology would increase its acceptibility.

Apart from this, integrity in the research carried out needs to be maintained throughout the publication. The research needs to be cited accurately with relevant references. No plagiarism should be ensured. Clear and concise language should be used instead of verbose wording and complicated terminologies. Proof reading and editing must be done meticulously, perhaps with the help of tools like Grammarly or Zotero. It is also necessary to select the right journal with a clear scope and impact factor and strict adherence to publication instructions. Peer review is an essential process which enhances the quality of the publication.

Publication is not an end but an ongoing process. Rejection is part of the procedure which serves as feedback. Ethics, a long-term vision of the research being undertaken and increasing researcher's visibility through different platform and engaging with scholars is what is essential for a strong publication and contributing to the knowledge base globally.
