Outline:

1. Intro: thesis as your biggest research asset
   • You already did the work; publishing gives long‑term value for CV and PhD.
2. Step 1 – Evaluate your thesis for publication potential
   • Novelty, clear question, usable data, feasible trimming to article length.
3. Step 2 – Simplify and focus the story
   • Choose one main research question and main set of findings.
   • Remove side‑questions that dilute the paper.
4. Step 3 – Improve methods and robustness
   • Re‑run key analyses; check assumptions; add robustness checks where possible.
   • Clarify limitations honestly.
5. Step 4 – Rewrite with journal readers in mind
   • Shorten literature and context sections.
   • Emphasize contribution: what managers, policymakers, or scholars learn.
6. Step 5 – Seek feedback and submit
   • Get supervisor or peer review; polish language.
   • Target appropriate journals or conference proceedings.

Soft pitch: SATC mentoring via training

SATC course helps students understand methods deeply enough to re‑work theses into stronger, publishable studies.
