In Chapter 16, “From Dissertation to Publication,” we start by explaining the reasons why dissertations should be published, the main reason being, as supported by research, that it partly determines one’s future success as an academic. We then explore various formats for publishing the dissertation. The second section explains how to identify a dissertation that would be a good candidate for dissemination as several papers, including detailed steps on how to approach such a project. The final section provides characteristics of a dissertation that could be transformed into a book, as well as proposing various suggestions for how to do so.
