Why Publishing Your Thesis Is More Than Just Printing a Book?
Why Publishing Your Thesis Is So Much More ThanPrinting a Book Many researchers have the feeling of crossing the finish line after all the dedication, the research work and all the academic writing, once they obtain their degree and the thesis is ‘filed’ and stored somewhere in the archives of their university where only the occasional researcher will ‘browse’ and maybe find what they were looking for, and probably not. But your thesis deserves more than this, far more! Publishing your thesis in a book is not only a printing exercise, it is bestowing an identity to your academic contribution.
A book on your thesis ensures that your findings will reach not only academia but also students, teachers, scholars, business professionals and even decision makers across countries.
Your work is no longer lost in the archives or easily found by someone that actively looks through the vast repository of institutional sites. It is available through libraries, bookstores, online portals and of course databases such as Google. In order for your publication to have this global and lasting reach an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) needs to be registered. The ISBN is like the fingerprints of a book, a lifelong identification number that helps identify a publication as book and ensures it is appropriately categorized, distributed and even cited.
Every single library in the world identifies and manages over 6 million books using the ISBN code.
Editing The process of preparing thesis for publication involves a substantial rework in manuscript preparation and editing. These documents typically include in-depth and technical descriptions of the methodology and discussions, that while crucial in an academic process, do not need to be part of the ‘general reader friendly’ book. In fact, editing the document prior to the production makes it readable and enhances its value as a source of reference.
Professional Editing additionally, an appropriate copy-editing is done with the objective of improving the language of the content so that it reaches to the larger reader community without much difficulty. Along with this, you may need to work on professional formatting and designing for an attractive cover for your thesis book to stand out and gain credibility in the publishing market. Hiring an academic publisher, in this direction can solve this problem altogether as professional academic publishers offer manuscript editing, cover designing, ISBN allocation, typesetting, metadata creation, book printing and even worldwide distribution.
Professional Benefits Last but not the least, publishing a thesis book has profound professional benefits.
Being the author of a published book not only raises your academic profile and offers an increased citation opportunity but it also ensures greater recognizability for your area of study. This opens numerous gateways to research grants, fellowship and even career advancement in an academic or a research-oriented role. In brief, a thesis can fetch you a degree, but a book can empower you for a lifetime and further benefit society through spread of knowledge!
