Abstract EN
The aim of the paper is to elucidate a systematic approach to convert a Masters dissertation into a journal article.
This approach has involved a fundamental thematic review of the literature concerning the conversion of dissertations into journal articles.
From these sources pertinent approaches, processes, lessons, and guidance have been noted and analysed.
By undertaking this distillation of relevant material, to enable the efficient conversion of dissertations into journal articles, appropriate procedures and conclusions have been compiled.
Findings present current thinking on the conversion of a dissertation into a journal paper in terms of how dissertations differ from journal articles, reframing for publication, rethinking the material, trimming the length, time taken to rewrite the material, specific lessons, and adapting for publication.
Recommendations provided in the paper will enable staff to take this course of action when developing their publication portfolio to become more research active and to make an important contribution to the publication output of their department/school/faculty, especially with regard to assessment exercises such as the Research Excellence Framework.
The value of the paper is that by following appropriate approaches, processes, and procedures it is possible to convert a good dissertation into a ranked journal article.
