Why Publishing Your Thesis Could Lead to More doors Than You Think?
Many graduating students consider their thesis to be the final challenge, right before they move onto ‘the real world’-whatever that may be for them (i.e. More education, a career in research, employment within industry). Your thesis, however, is capable of doing more than simply helping you secure your qualification. Once it’s been published, there are several new avenues available to you that many of us might never even know are an option.
The reasoning behind this is incredibly simple; there is simply nothing stronger as an example of what you can do than a published thesis. From a comprehensive knowledge of your subject, ability in research and analysis to your organisational skills and your capacity for clearly presenting your work – these are all traits highly valuable within the majority of knowledge-based sectors, and a published thesis allows these to be clearly visible, far beyond what a transcript or cv might otherwise offer.
Certainly, the most straightforward door a published thesis might open would be within the realm of academia itself. Most career paths in research will rely heavily on documented research output, and this can be invaluable for any potential PhD students, fellows or postdocs, teachers, grant applicants and researchers applying for funding. Publishing this kind of work means you are seen as an active contributor within the field, as opposed to an aspiring one. In fact, publishing your thesis can be a launching point for future articles, conference papers, and even books!
The opportunities don’t stop there though. Your published work could also be of interest to a number of professionals outside of academia who are either intrigued by the subject matter or impressed by the quality of your research methodology. Public health, public policy, technology, consulting and even sustainability-related employers are more likely to be attracted to the research potential within your thesis, providing a strong support to your applications for more specialised or research intensive roles.
Additionally, publishing your thesis offers a networking platform that would otherwise not be available to you. Your work being accessible online via academic searches and database allows others to find it; many of them will be entirely unknown to you and could perhaps be prompted to contact you about possible collaboration or even to invite you to participate in future projects or events. This kind of connectivity doesn’t come with a thesis sitting at the back of a university archive.
Ultimately, there is also a confidence and positioning benefit. Publishing your work means you are presenting yourself as not only someone who completed their degree but as a contributor of academic work that will hold merit and remain valuable. This subtle but significant shift in how your own work and your own skills are perceived is something that has a profound impact on the types of work you consider and are considered for.
But the main reason to publish is simple: a published thesis keeps on working for you. It continues to offer advantages, value and visibility even after your degree has been successfully conferred.
It comes down to this: much more is possible for your thesis than most graduates ever realise and publishing is by far the easiest and most effective way to turn it into a powerful career development tool. Academic and professional, professional and collaborative-all possible beyond what you might initially expect!
