I am working in acadamia. It has been three years since I work as a lecturer. My MSc thesis found at http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2:1272204. In addition, I have made a survey on SDN secure routing and written Research Secure Routing for Software Defined Network: A Survey
Now, I want to publish a paper from my MSc thesis and the second paper. However, I don't know if it is possible or qualify for publication. I need a hand on this.
Thanks
Hello,
it is hard to evaluate your work based only upon a document you provided, which was never intended to be a research paper, but a thesis. Maybe someone can help you more, but my advise to you would be to try to connect with your supervisor or opponent of the thesis, or at least a head of research, or director of the department where you did your thesis, (or anyone around you with more experience in publishing) and ask them if they can help you with preparing a paper for publication from the results of your thesis.
At least this would work for me in my beginnings.
I wish you a good luck in finding a co-author and submitting the final paper :)
Regards, Kristian
Usually, you must start with presenting your work in conference, followed by publication in conference proceeding journal. That gives you confidence. Later you can target some of the standard journals related to your domain. Find out relevant papers. Read them thoroughly, try to understand methodology of the paper. Try to find out research gap from literature review and set the goal. Then write novelty and unique contributions. Focus more on results and it's interpretation, conclusions and futuristic directions. Proof read your paper with the help of peers and then send it to the journal.
