Hi All,
What about using the contents of the thesis (even copy/paste) to publish few articles out of it. In my case, the thesis is present in University online archive but it does not have any ISBN.
Thanks and regards
Syed
It's a pretty common way to use your dissertation. Think carefully about a focus for each article. You could actually see what others have done by looking at their dissertations online and then at some articles they've written. Your dissertation chair should be able to advise you.
Dear Syed,
In my field of study publication is also effected by distribution on or after 1 January 2012 of electronic material in Portable Document Format (PDF; see also Art. 29.3 and Rec. 29A.1) in an online publication with an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) or an International Standard Book Number (ISBN).
In my opinion a thesis in the electronic form without ISBN is not effectively published. So there should not be any problem to publish papers from a thesis uploaded in the web but without ISBN.
However, you check the rules and regulations in your field of study.
With best wishes,
Subir.
Hi Subir,
I agree with you and in fact I purposely did not pursue to obtain ISSN/ISBN for the thesis with an aim to produce few articles out of it.
Thank you and with my best regards
Syed
Hi Hendrika,
Thank you for your answer and valuable suggestions.
Take care
With my best regards
Syed
Thank you Syed. I wish you best of luck in publishing papers. You look at my contributions. I have published many papers on Bauhinia and its allied genera. I also did my Ph D on the Indian Bauhinias. It seems to me that publishing papers in good periodicals is more difficult than getting Ph D.
Best wishes,
Subir.
Hi Subir,
I agree with you as is not so simple as imagined.
Thanks for he wishes and same to you.
All the best
Best regards
Syed
