Quality Matters For Publishing Your Thesis as a Book By Dr. Susan D. E.

 Walker Publishing your thesis or dissertation as a book provides you the opportunity to contribute to a much larger audience. Publishing it successfully, however is not the same as simply printing copies of the study for a reading committee. Readers and scholars alike are accustomed to publications produced to a professional book standard which marry worthy research with rigorous standards in editing and production. Producing your thesis at a level that is professionally expected is a process to reflect the years of commitment to your research.

The First Stage Of Quality: Revising your manuscript A thesis, intended as the end-product of a program of studies to satisfy the examination of scholars, can be substantially different to a book to be enjoyed by others who have no reason to spend hours searching the dense footnotes of your research for understanding of basic terminology.

While all thesis manuscripts should include a sufficient background literature and a methodical review of methods, authors need to transform their study into something far more fluid and easily understandable by transforming the language, strengthening the organization within and between chapters and, quite often, demonstrating the real-world utility of their research findings. Editing is the Next Best Investment Professional editing is arguably the single most productive investment an author can make for the publication. In its broadest sense, editing includes refinement of grammar, syntax, punctuation, fluidity, sentence structure, consistency of style and, of course clarity.

Even those of us who do research are more readily identified through another perspective when our text is “put on a stand and viewed under the light” – an editor provides the light, and the sharp eye of experience. Formatting andLayout have the same importance As well as the manuscript being revised it needs to look good; what is more annoying than reading poorly-formatted document? With standard and legible font, proper section headings, good spacing and formatting of table and graphs it is important for read it better.

The appearance also adds to the professional impression that readers come to expect and your book will benefit from a professional appearance.

The Cover Design & Quality The design of a book’s cover is usually considered of great importance, and for good reason; this is often the first visual communication that a prospective reader encounters. Together with high quality printing or ebook production this will significantly add to your professionalism. The Role of an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) Obtaining an ISBN will give your work the global designation that allows it and any translated copies to be catalogued and listed in online retail stores and in academic libraries around the world. Book Author Details Having an ISBN will allow your work to be indexed under your name and all related bibliographic entries (author details) added under your name and as so will enable researchers searching on the net for particular topics to discover your work.

High quality metadata (data about a document) Registration for an ISBN involves adding descriptive data to the publication which could otherwise be missed entirely if not carefully reviewed and perfected.

This could include; author; format; year of publication; language and, depending upon your work, further detailing of the genre and subjects your research encompasses. Finding The Right Academic Partner An academic publisher can take the ‘hassle out of the work’ of taking on this work. Many services include manuscript preparation and enhancement, as well as cover design, and distribution and even offer ISBN registration, legal copyright assistance and worldwide book printing if that is the intended format of your final output.

Ultimately, Publishing Quality and the Future of your research the more convincing the quality of your published thesis, and book, then the greater the chance it will be reviewed, read and the research cited over years to come. Your years of academic effort deserve to be recognised as being significant and this process, as it stands and at best practice standard for academics, will ensure they receive due consideration for the quality they have embodied. A publication of high quality is one whose content is as meticulously presented as the formatting used.

A book produced under the auspices of such principles, then it becomes a valuable research reference.

When a research manuscript has had the same attention given to its presentation and quality as it was to its content development process then you may rightly feel that the research has come of age. And, of course the publication must meet the standard with regards to having the associated with a listed publication: ie. An ISBN number; that will lead a world, not just national community to identify and access the publication you have produced.
