From thesis to publication, step by step

The pathway MRB provides so a completed thesis does not stop at submission.

Many completed theses are never published. The work is done, but the route from thesis to journal is unclear and nobody is tracking it. MRB treats publication as the next stage of the same project.

1. Index the thesis

The completed thesis is recorded with structured details: abstract, keywords, department, year, guide and author. It becomes searchable in the institutional repository, subject to the visibility your institution sets.

2. Convert it to a manuscript

A thesis and a journal article are different documents. The thesis-to-manuscript workflow helps you choose an article type and restructure the content for it.

3. Find a suitable journal

The journal discovery workflow helps you shortlist journals that fit the topic and article type. The choice remains yours and your co-authors’.

4. Check readiness

Before submission, a checklist covers authorship and contributions, references, formatting and integrity checkpoints.

5. Submit and track

Submission, reviewer comments, revisions and the final outcome are tracked against the original project, so the publication is linked back to the thesis it came from.

Who benefits

The author gains a publication. The guide and department gain a visible output. The institution gains a research record that shows what its theses produced.
