I can add a book (not an article): How to Get a PhD: A Handbook for Students and Their Supervisors by Estelle M. Phillips, Derek S. Pugh

Estelle wrote the book based on her Ph.D thesis and interviews with students at a couple of universities.

The book is relatively cheap to obtain used (new and old on Amazon) and can be bought even less expensively from Abebooks.

Statistical analysis can be included in 'Methodology' part of the paper.

thesis reference can be included in introduction, Materials and Metods can accommodate the technique

If it is your data, you can take two actions:

1. Before submission of thesis one can use it for paper

2. After sumission of the thesis, one can use it by acknowledging it

The analysis part will become a part of Methods and Material section.

Yes. You can till out papers from your thesis. If each of the objectives can stand on their legs with all other essential requirements, then you can get more papers from your thesis. As adviced by colleagues, incorporate the the statistical method in the materials and methods section, while detailing the discussions in the results and discussion section. Dear t shall be well, Tara. I can peruse the final papers for you ([email protected]). Best regards

In most cases each chapter of thesis gets extracted and/or improvised to suit the same chapter in the article. Example: extracts of literature review from thesis can become the literature review chapter in the article.

Two of my journal articles were directly taken from my PhD.

My articles in JBR and JStM is in research gate. U can find my PhD thesis at Google Scholar.

Dear Tara

Here are some of the elements that you will need to work on to successfully create a journal article from your thesis:

1. Length: A journal article is much shorter than a dissertation or thesis, and consequently, requires a tighter framework and a more compact style. While a dissertation can run up to a few 100 pages and has around 20,000 words, a journal article can be anywhere between 3000-6000 words, depending on the field and the journal. Therefore, each section of the manuscript has to be shortened considerably. This should be done by selecting and rewriting content from the thesis, not by copying and pasting. Selecting and repurposing are the key elements here: you need to be extremely careful to preserve the essence of the study while leaving out the redundant details.

2.Abstract: The abstract for a journal article typically ranges anywhere between 150-250 words. However, a dissertation abstract is longer, usually around 350 words. Read the instructions of your target journal carefully. Some journals require a structured abstract while others prefer an unstructured one. Graphical abstracts and video abstracts are also gaining popularity and some journals ask for these.

3. Introduction: A thesis usually has a more detailed introduction as students demonstrate their familiarity with the existing literature through an exhaustive literature review. However, in a journal article, the literature review is more succinct and should include only as much as is required to understand the gap in research that led to the study. If your thesis/dissertation includes more than one research question, make sure you narrow down the focus to just one research question for your journal article.

4. Methods: The materials and methods section of a thesis usually includes an extensive discussion of the research approach and methodology. However, a journal article requires a more controlled presentation of methods: you should limit yourself to describing only the details of the methodology used, specifically, the experiments conducted; a comprehensive discussion of the research approach is not required here.

5. Results: While a thesis/dissertation usually reports each and every result in considerable details, a journal article reports only the main findings. In fact, as a result of inexperience or over-interpretation, students often end up reporting results in their thesis that are not strong enough. However, when it comes to journal articles, strict standards of reporting should be followed, and you should only report results that are directly relevant to your research question and backed by strong evidence. Secondary findings may be included as supplementary information if you wish.

6. Discussion: The discussion section of a thesis/dissertation is again more detailed, providing a thorough interpretation of all the results with an aim to show the student’s complete understanding of their data. Additionally, students need to demonstrate their interest in future research directions by engaging in extensive speculation. The discussion section of a journal paper should be clear and to-the-point. Do not make the mistake of repeating your results in this section.

7. References: Dissertations typically have an exhaustive list of citations, sometimes, even a bibliography. However, journal articles include a limited number of citations, and the reference section includes only works that have been cited within the article. Some journals actually specify the maximum number of references that can be included. Similarly, it is fairly common to have a ‘Definitions’ section in dissertations, but this should not be included in a journal article.

Under Statistical analysis

Dear Tara,

It is better to download the sample from internet.Any one hardly share their research work or thesis work before publication.
