Where there's no thesis, there's no book — and with an ISBN, there is a book!

 A thesis is among one of the toughest academic tasks. It develops over a period of months or years, and involves research, analysis, writing, and revision. It usually culminates in ideas, arguments and results that are original, well developed and may inform current scholarship or practice. However, a lot of this and other work is not being read by those who are supposed to be reading it.


Rather, numerous theses are held in university archives and may only be accessed infrequently, or by fewer researchers. Submitting the paper fulfills the academic requirement, but doesn't confer influence. This is the price of an unpublished thesis: good research is unread and unused, and it is not used to spark wider discussion.


It's not that it's a bad idea, it's just that it's unpublished.It's not that it's a bad idea, it's that it's unpublished.


Academic impact is made when impact is visible, discovered and accessible. A thesis in a university repository can certainly "be on-line" but it is not necessarily "circulating like a book". May not be found in bookseller systems, library acquisition records or normal publication catalogue. It could also be difficult to find and to cite by other researchers who are not at your institution.


This is important because research doesn't just end when you graduate. The results of a thesis may be utilized for future research, teaching, policy making and building up professional knowledge. Much of that potential is lost if the work does not get out of the repository.

Writing a thesis as a book enhances the visibility of the thesis. It enables the research to be further developed for a wider audience and can be regarded as an academic work rather than a final presentation by the student. This can enhance the likelihood of citations, professional recognition and expand the reach of the research to readers everywhere within and beyond institutions and countries.


In addition, for many authors, book publication establishes a link between the student's research and his/her identity as an academic. It demonstrates the enduring value of the work, and the author's intention to disseminate knowledge beyond the confines of the degree process.


How an ISBN changes the status of a Thesis Book!


The ISBN is an important part of that change. It's the International Standard Book Number that enables the book to be identified in the international publishing system. It facilitates the identification of the publication to libraries, online services, retailers and cataloguing services.


Most important of all, it ensures that the thesis book is published formally and that its publication can be traced. An ISBN facilitates listing, citation, distribution and discovery of a book. It is no longer a single document that is isolated from the rest of the academic community, but becomes part of the infrastructure that enables academic publishing.


Making research more than a submission.Making research more than a submission.


It's not always a bad idea to leave a thesis unpublished, but most of the time, it is a poor idea to have years of work available to a limited audience. If researchers consider their research to be of interest to a broader audience, they will find publication to be a more agreeable choice.


The process of turning a thesis into a book requires planning, editing and the appropriate publishing procedures. The impact can be profound, however: visibility, accolades and a legacy to the profession. May be a small part of that process, but an ISBN is one of the most obvious indicators that the work you've put out is published, found, and ready to be part of the world.
