My PhD dissertation contains some novel models; almost each chapter is one model (except first and last chapters). Except one or two, all are expected to remain unpublished till my Defense, which is approaching soon. I'm wondering should i publish "them" first as papers and then publish my dissertation as book or should i publish dissertation first and papers later.
Looking forward to the replies of seniors and experts who had been through similar dilemma in their past. Thank you in advance.
