The most frequently made mistakes that researchers ought to avoid when publishing their thesis.

It's a great idea to publish a thesis as a book to bring your research out of the university and into the world. Your work can be a professionally published resource available to students, researchers, educators and professionals around the world, not just available to examiners or institutional repositories. But many first time authors face challenges which can be easily avoided while publishing their work, and one such challenge is getting an International Standard Book Number ( ISBN).

An ISBN is much more than a publishing formality. It assigns a unique character to your book, which helps libraries, booksellers, distributors and academic databases to identify and catalogue it properly. The application process for the ISBN is relatively simple, but there are a few important details to follow up that will cause a delay in publication or decrease the visibility of your book if you miss out.

In the following, a few of the more frequently made errors associated with ISBNs are described that researchers should try to avoid when turning a thesis into a book.

The Book Title is only finalized after the Applicant has applied.

A frequent mistake made by authors is asking for an ISBN prior to a book's title.

The ISBN is associated with the particular information for the publication registered. If the title is significantly changed after the book is published, extra administrative action may be needed, and in some instances, an additional ISBN may be needed.

When preparing to apply, make sure your title is the final version of your manuscript.

Thesis and published book are for different audiences. A thesis is created for the purposes of being evaluated by an academic, a book for the public who has come to expect to be involved in clear, engaging, and professionally presented content.

If not edited, publication can have an impact on readability and quality of the publication. Even if research is great, grammar mistakes, formatting inconsistencies, and unnecessary technical jargon can make readers think there is something wrong with the paper.

Academic writing becomes a polished publication and reaches a larger audience by working with a professional editor.

Using Incorrect Metadata

The metadata contains information that is vital to the publication of the book and consists of the author's name, the book title, information about the publisher, language of publication, information about the format of the publication, information about the classification of the book.

The smallest of these mistakes can have an impact on the way your book is displayed online, in the bookstore and in library catalogues. Bad metadata can make it more difficult for readers to find your publication with search tools.

By checking all the details before submitting the ISBN application, these issues can be avoided.

Ignoring Copyright Considerations

All authors should be sure they have the rights to any content they use in their thesis before publishing.

A large number of theses include figures, photographs, tables, or illustrations that are reproduced from other publications. Seeing that copyright issues may arise during the publication if permission is not obtained as appropriate.

Checking copyright laws before applying for an ISBN is essential to the protection of the author and publisher and will help to meet publishing standards.

Choosing the Wrong Publication Format

Usually each edition of a book will have its own ISBN.

For instance, a paperback version, hardcover version and an eBook version are considered separate editions. A few writers may think one ISBN is for all formats, which can cause issues when getting the book to users.

When publishing in advance, you can ensure that each of your editions is properly registered and distributed.

Leaving the information in a rush.

Many researchers are keen to publish their thesis as soon as it is finished. Although it's understandable to have enthusiasm, haste will inevitably result in avoidable errors when making the decision to edit, format and/or publish ISBN registration.

A well-crafted manuscript makes a much greater impact than a hastily written one. The more time dedicated to the content, design and publication information, the more successful the outcome will be.
