Why your thesis deserves a wider audience: From University Repository to Global Bookshelves.

Most researchers have a thesis to write, and when it is finished, they have finished their academic careers. Original research is presented, evaluated and archived after years of research, literature review, data collection, etc. The term of the degree is great but the research is not always given its due recognition. Numerous theses are kept in university archives from which only a few readers will have access.


If you publish your thesis in the form of a book, this is not the case. Your research goes beyond just being shelved on a university library shelf or housed in an institutional database to be made available to scholars, educators, industry experts, policy makers, and readers globally. It turns years of learning into something that will last a lifetime and continue to add value beyond school.


These days, one of the primary reasons behind why researchers publish their thesis is to boost visibility. Academic research can help in addressing real world problems, in informing future research or in informing professional practice. This effect can only be achieved, however, when people can find and access the work. When published, it's a link between the academy and the public.


An ISBN is an important piece in this metamorphosis. Your publication will be assigned an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) that will uniquely identify your book and help libraries, bookstores, distributors and online booksellers catalogue and manage your book correctly. It guarantees that your work is not an unpublished academic paper, but enters the worldwide publishing system.


Thesis must be revised for general audience before publication. A thesis is written mainly for the supervisor and the examiner and may include a lot of methodology, technical jargon and lengthy academic discussions. There has to be a more entertaining and palatable way to relate the same research in a book.


Most authors tend to streamline the language, reorganize chapters, eliminate repetitive material, update references and add more practical uses for their data to make it easier to read. These changes make it easier to follow the research for the reader, and retain the academic authenticity of the research.


There are also new opportunities available for professional development through publication. A book published in print showcases knowledge, and a commitment to sharing it. It helps enhance academic CVs, applications for faculty jobs, research funding, fellowships, and promotions, and provides greater opportunities for collaboration with other scholars in related fields.


One other huge benefit is accessibility in the long-term. An ISBN can be used for distributing books via international publishing platforms, bookstores, academic databases and libraries. This means for years you will be able to find your research, and not lose it after you graduate.


Professional publishing services also make it easy by editing and formatting your text, creating a cover, getting your book ISBN registered, preparing your metadata, and helping you distribute. These services enable researchers to concentrate on their research and leave the technical details of publishing to them.


All theses have information that is important and created with hard work and brainpower. Making your work available as a book will enable others to benefit from it, cite it and develop it for future research.


Don't restrict your research to university archives, try to give it its audience. The publication of your thesis is not just about a book, it is about your ideas continuing to make a difference to the rest of the world's academic community.
