This text on doctoral dissertations aims to give the student an understanding of the differences between the two forms and an appreciation of the endeavours of scholarly publishers. Drawing on the expertise of the contributors, all of whom are editors, publishers and scholars themselves, the chapters present the rudimentary differences between a thesis and a book (including matters of purpose and audience), give guidance on the necessary stylistic, technical and structural revisions to the dissertation, and offer advice to first-time authors who must not only revise their work to satisfy prospective publishers, but also learn a good deal of the ins and outs of scholarly publishing. Of value to graduating doctoral students seeking publication and to the faculty members who supervise these students, it will also be of interest to acquisitions editors at scholarly presses.
