From University Archive to Professional Asset: The Career Value of Publishing Your Thesis.
The second session will focus on the second key aspect, the value of a thesis to the career, from University Archive to Professional Asset.
Thesis is one of the most important accomplishments in Academic Life. It is the product of months or years of research or disciplined inquiry and a focus on a particular problem or topic. However, even though it may take a lot of effort, many researchers consider their thesis to be the final piece in the process of obtaining a degree, not the first step in an expanded professional career. In fact, a thesis can be more than just a college requirement: it can be a publication to help you build your career.
When you publish your thesis, you can transfer it from your university archives to the public and professional world. Your work is not only available to examiners and a select institutional audience, it is available to scholars, industry professionals, practitioners and policymakers! That is a change that can make a difference because, often, opportunity is created when there is more visibility.
A very good argument for publishing your thesis is to make yourself a specialist. A thesis shows that you have studied a topic thoroughly and have done independent research as well as come up with informed conclusions. But when published it is now a tangible evidence of your expertise. This can be particularly useful at the beginning of your career, if you don't have a long history of work or successes yet but want to show that you can do it.
In the scholarly world, publications can boost your academic profile for research fellowships, postdoctoral scholarships, grants and teaching positions. Institutions desire proof of candidates' ability to generate knowledge, communicate research findings effectively, and maintain the process of research over time. A published thesis has the answer to all three of these questions. This also provides a space for future research products. The majority of researchers transform their thesis into journal articles, conference papers, joint research or entire academic book.
It isn't just universities that benefit from the professional benefits. A published thesis may be a unique, transferable skill and specialty in industry. It demonstrates your ability to plan a complex project, analyse data, solve complex problems and report findings based on evidence. The following are highly relevant in the sectors of consulting, health care, technology, public policy, market research, sustainability and education. When there are so many people competing for a job, it is important that you get published to make yourself stand out from people who might be qualified for a job on paper.
Publishing also helps with the reputation and discoverability. Your research is easier to find and cite, as it is professionally edited and placed in the correct position and published correctly. This can result in new working relationships, requests for speaking, invitations to speak, requests for collaboration and increased visibility in academic and professional networks.
Also, there's the long-term benefit: when the thesis is published, it's a part of your portfolio of research. It's not a one-off academic project, it's an ongoing intellectual effort that will be included in your CV, online profiles and future applications. It can be used as proof of your knowledge and skills long after graduation and can be used as a springboard for more publications or leadership roles.
Writing a thesis is not just the presentation of what you've done. It's about how you can make that come in useful in the next phase of your career. Your thesis should not just be put on the shelf or listed in a repository if it is original research, practical insight, or meaningful analysis. It can be a great enabler for professional development, credibility and career growth, provided it is published in the proper way.
