Here is the actual advice I gave to a student a few minutes ago. "Here is how you can proceed: Narrow down your focus and construct the most critical research question for your manuscript (currently you have 21 Tables). The most relevant your specific finding is for filling gaps in literature and providing evidence for practice and policy, the more important the research question is (in the dissertation) that led to the finding. Decide which tables are relevant in answering the research question(s). Decide on a target journal, read author instructions and convert the formats to match the journal requirements.
Please see the attached for some guiding principles."

Steps to convert a message into a scientific article
In terms of how the message is converted into a scientific article, I can summarize it in 4 important steps (journal selection, rephrasing, revision and revision, article posting)
Refining and narrowing the focus of a dissertation as well as running it past an educational supervisor or colleague can also be very useful in finding faults or omissions.
I also found that comparison with similar articles is helpful.
Each person who has done dissertation can convert their work into journal papers. One can divide the dissertation into chapters and convert as different good research articles.
You can extract at least an article or two from each chapter from your thesis (review, research article). Be specific (per research objectives), and provide informative and concise abstract for each article.

Thesis in general is a preparation of new and advance work. This covers theory, simulation as well as experiments. In this several things like optimization, validation uncertainty analysis are depicted. Even though thesis are written as chapters, these can be segregated and confined as writing one, two or three good research articles.
Using part of thesis in articles is not self-plagiarism how some suppose, because theses are written on the rights of manuscript and articles on the rights of publishing company as well. Otherwise all handwritten texts could be rejected to be published
Have a look at what the international journal or journal itself requires in order to be accepted for peer review and further publication. It's also critical for the author(s) to already have a good background of knowledge on the working theory.
