Theses should be <span class="underline">nominated</span> for publication by heads of department at internationally leading institutions.</p><p class="flapContent">Prospective authors should bear in mind that every PhD thesis will need to undergo rigorous revision in order to be published as a monograph with our press. To help with this revision, our editors have put together the following advice:</p><h3 class="flapContent"><strong>How do you go about planning the revisions, and when should you start?</strong></h3><p class="flapContent">Be aware that transforming your dissertation into a publishable book is a complex process that will take time and require some careful planning. Most authors take at least a year to complete a PhD-based book; however, this timeline may be extended if the book requires fresh data and new research. </p><p class="flapContent">You should only start working on your book proposal after you’ve submitted your thesis, defended it successfully, and completed your PhD program. This will allow you to look at the thesis with a fresh eye and to take into account any helpful feedback from your examiners as you develop your proposal.</p><p class="flapContent">Consider all the available formats. Depending on the subject and breadth of the topic, some proposals may develop into a full-length authored book (approximately 90,000 words), whilst for others a shorter format like Palgrave Pivot (25,000 to 50,000 words) may be suitable – for example a single-case or single-country study once they have been extracted out of any redundant or unnecessary content.</p><h3 class="flapContent"><strong>What’s the difference between the PhD Thesis and an Authored Book?</strong></h3><ul><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Audience: </strong> While a PhD thesis is meant to be read and scrutinized by your supervisors and examiners, the readership of your book will extend to the broader academic community, scholars and practitioners, who may not be specialized in or even familiar with your research topic.</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Rationale: </strong>The motivation behind writing your book will need to be rethought to reflect the expectations of your new audience and should be clearly explained in the introduction. The objective is not to convince your examiners that you have what it takes to complete a PhD, but to make sure the book is coherent and your conclusions are persuasive. </li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Structure: </strong>Your introductory chapter should also offer readers a concise ‘preview’ of the various chapters. The conclusion should summarize your key findings and identify avenues for further research. Look over the table of contents in books which you would consider as related literature or competitors. How does their structure differ from the structure of your thesis? You should simplify and optimize your table of contents to present the material in a logical and accessible fashion.</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Length:</strong> Monographs are typically much shorter than PhD theses. Separate chapters about the review of literature and research methodologies may be essential in a thesis, but will not be necessary in a book, as readers and experts in your field will be familiar already with both. References to the relevant literature can be moved to the endnotes of individual chapters, and what is not pertinent to advancing your own arguments can be removed. The methodology chapter should be reduced and merged with the introduction or omitted altogether.</li></ul><p class="flapContent"><strong><a href="https://www.springer.com/de/autoren-herausgeber/deutsche-publikationen/research" target="_blank" class="is-external" data-track="click" data-track-label="/gp/authors/publish-a-book/writing-your-manuscript" data-track-category="sn:content-page-main-content" data-track-component="richtext-link - Learn more about publishing German theses - https://www.springer.com/de/autoren-herausgeber/deutsche-publikationen/research">Learn more about publishing German theses</a>.</strong></p><h3 class="flapHead hideContent">Tips for writing your textbook</h3><ul><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Prerequisite knowledge: </strong>What topics or concepts should readers already be familiar with? Do you need to review these or provide further explanation?</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Self-contained: </strong>Students typically want a one-stop resource so you should try to ensure that as much of the information that student needs is presented in your textbook.</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Modular chapters: </strong>Students will likely dip in and out of the textbook rather than read it linearly from start to finish so try to make chapters self-contained where possible, so they can be understood out of context of the rest of the textbook.</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Succinct and to the point: </strong>Keep focused on the course that the textbook is supporting and the topics that need to be covered. Avoid including less relevant topics, very advanced topics, explanations of concepts that students should already understand, and any other content that may not actually be useful to the student.</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Didactic elements: </strong>Elements such as exercises, case studies, definitions and so on help break up the main chapter text and make it more engaging. Consider what didactic elements you want to include before you start writing so you can ensure that the main chapter text provides the right information to support the didactic element e.g. that a concept is adequately explained in order to answer an exercise question, or that theory is suitably described before a corresponding case study is given</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Writing style:</strong> Textbooks can have a lighter, more conversational writing style than monographs and references works. Try to use active rather than passive sentences e.g. “It is believed by some physicians that…” becomes “Some physicians believe that…”</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Online resources: </strong>If you have exercises, consider writing a solutions manual for instructors so they don’t have to work out all the solutions themselves. Are there data sets, spreadsheets, programs, etc., that would be useful for students to access so they can test concepts themselves? The same copyright issues apply for online resources as for the print book – see <strong><a href="/gp/authors/publish-a-book/signing-your-contract" target="_self" data-track="click" data-track-label="/gp/authors/publish-a-book/writing-your-manuscript" data-track-category="sn:content-page-main-content" data-track-component="richtext-link - Obtaining Permissions - /gp/authors/publish-a-book/signing-your-contract">Obtaining Permissions</a> </strong>for further information</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Write a helpful Introduction: </strong>Explain who the textbook is for and how it should be used. Confirm the level of the students (e.g. 3rd year undergraduates). Confirm the course that the textbook supports. List any prerequisites or assumptions you have made about the student’s background knowledge. Explain how the textbook could be used. If applicable, identify core must-read chapters and chapters that are more advanced or optional; provide short summaries of the chapters (just a sentence or two)</li><li class="flapContent--paragraph"><strong>Test your material as you write:</strong> Use your draft chapters as part of your lecture course and see how students respond to it. Do they understand the concepts you are explaining? Are they able to complete any exercises?</li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="column medium-4 large-3" id="quick-guide-to-publishing-your-book"><div id="c26019456"
