Common Myths About Publishing a Thesis as a Book.
Busting busting busting 5 myths surrounding thesis turned book: 5 realities Many people consider publishing their thesis out of reach, either due to its difficulty and price, or the belief it’s a preserve for experienced professionals. Yet modern publishing avenues have leveled the playing field making it feasible for early-career researchers to get their thesis published properly and widely. 1.
Thesis turned book is exclusively reserved for doctoral research: It's incorrect; quite a number of amazing master's theses can be turned to compelling books particularly when the thesis has contained unique data or valuable research outcomes that could be beneficial to an extended audience.
2. The original thesis format can be replicated directly: Except for the central idea and conclusion which stays the same, it is necessary to edit, simplify language and restructure the book chapter as one generally won't read thesis from scratch (in as much as the original chapter has made some reference to some future research). 3. Obtaining a Library Catalog number(ISBN) is of secondary importance.
No doubt it is not necessarily required everywhere, getting a standard book number for your thesis would enable it to be catalogued into book lists available in libraries, bookshops, research institutes and also in online markets (like Amazon).
4. The research won’t be worthwhile in terms of cost : Yes; it would definitely cost something in publishing one, however with the emergence of Self-publishing service and numerous packages that publishing companies offer, research publications are within reach for anyone to publish with costs ranging between as little as £200 and £1000 (which usually includes the total editorial process, layout formatting, ISBN number registration, and global distribution, etc). 5.
The book publication is bound to garner some fame and publicity: Although this might be the wish of many a researcher, publication does go a long way in enhancing the publicity of your research, especially with conferences, university website or publications, academic networks, and social media where one could circulate it globally. As with other publications, how successful the book launch turns out to be largely dependent on how you and the publishing house work.
