Why books thesis have to be more than good research in order to be able to be successful in publishing?
The well - founded thesis must naturally result from the well - founded research. It must perhaps bring original claims, well - founded analysis of material and a valuable contribution to a scientific field. Nevertheless, the strong research can unfortunately not guarantee a publication.
Because in the publishing industry the thesis not only judged for scientific quality, but especially for readability, arrangement, presentation and reachability.
It's the part that often trips researchers unexpectedly because they might think: "Since the thesis was good enough to be successfully accepted, it can automatically be turned into a book." This is often not the case.
### Because a book should also serve the reader, not just the examiner
First, there is the issue of the audience. The thesis is aimed at a professor, an examiner and the responsible committee of an institution. Therefore, the thesis can pay close attention to the methodological detail, provide a comprehensive overview of the state of research and adhere to strict formal regulations.
A book, even one in the academic context, should primarily be understood by readers.
Readers want an exciting narrative structure, a clear message and reason to keep reading. Therefore, the material must sometimes be edited or reorganized, long technical sections shortened or deleted, redundant passages summarized, key findings clearly conveyed or the practical and intellectual relevance to readers made even clearer.
### But publishing also about the positioning of the work
Besides the manuscript itself, there is the positioning of the thesis within the Publishing Landscape. The selection of title, subtitle, the design of the cover, classification, metadata and publication form. These characteristics make the decision on whether and how a book is perceived, listed by booksellers and is found.
The thesis needs therefore more than just a "good story" to achieve high reach in the academic environment.
It needs more than only a good content.
### Why is an ISBN essential for positioning?
One of the most important instruments in positioning your book is an ISBN. The International Standard Book Number is a designation for the publication that provides an identity and assigns it to relevant systems in which it can be cataloged and found worldwide. Retailers can offer your thesis for purchase with this, libraries catalogue and index the title. You as a scientist can cite it or others can cite it – even with it it is not guaranteed that your book will be read, but it removes an insurmountable obstacle to reachability.
### Professional support for thesis books can provide a remedy
For all the aspects mentioned above: editing, design, format,Metadata, ISBN-registration etc. Many scientists prefer to publish with a publisher or a publishing service. This is particularly beneficial for novice authors who would like to be accompanied in transforming a thesis document into an actual published book, since many researchers feel they would be overwhelmed by the process. The goal is not to replace your work but rather to present it as favourably as possible.
### Ultimately, publishing is more than just completing a task
Thesis you can prove that you can research. A published book you can do the opposite: that your work gets in a position where it can also be and will be found and used, not just read, in the long term. This means more than just submitting the thesis and believing: "I did well now." It requires decisions in terms of structure, design, reachability and, last but not least, the entire process of positioning, and it goes far beyond the actual writing.
