How publishing a thesis helps you build a stronger professional identity?

 The kind of person people perceive you to be is based on the work they’ve seen, the experts they trust, and the people who offer something new and valuable to a discipline or industry. For researchers and anyone moving up the academic ladder or trying to enter a knowledge-based profession, publishing your thesis can offer a brilliant way to start establishing that professional identity. After all, writing a thesis already represents deep engagement with a given subject – when you publish it, it acts as public testament to the fact that you have established knowledge in that subject, that you’re capable of demonstrating expertise and that you’re in the process of shaping into who you’re going to become as a professional.

Your thesis is more than just a formality required by the degree; it’s evidence that you’re capable of carrying out rigorous investigations in isolation, interpreting information with care and communicating your findings effectively through your written research. The quality you demonstrate with a thesis can form the basis of who people think you are in an academic environment or any knowledge based organisation – because they’re attributes valued in that context. Your published thesis will be able to be placed at the center of your overall public persona.

Publishing a thesis is one of the surest ways you can move from “student” or “graduate” to being perceived as having actually contributed to knowledge in your subject. For a lot of academic researchers in particular, publication makes their application for a place on a PhD, a research assistantship, funding for further research, post-doc positions or teaching jobs look much stronger. It demonstrates that you’re ready to contribute to the body of scholarly work in a discipline, that what you’ve learned in your thesis will have value for the greater scholarly community and may well be a stepping stone to further research for a journal or book.

Even in the ‘real world,’ you might be working for a non-academic organization such as in government policy or in an NGO or educational role, but publication can show potential employers what you’re made of.

A lot of non-academic employers are increasingly valuing those candidates with proven research, critical thinking, and written communications skills – they will not fail to be impressed with your published thesis. Furthermore, you may find your thesis is more discoverable to collaborators or future employees in online repositories, and can contribute to raising the public profile you currently hold. It ensures that all the effort and time spent will have a continuing impact after your graduation. Establishing a professional identity relies on building upon existing works, and for any researcher, there’s no existing work that’s more substantial, personal or reflective of professional ambition than your thesis.
