The Little Guide to Getting Your Journal Article Published
by
Scholarly communication is the process by which academic research is created, published, distributed, and discovered.
Publishing is an essential step in that cycle. By publishing, scholars allow readers to view, comment, and build upon their work, all of which are necessary steps to further knowledge.
Publishing also increases the scholar's standing in his or her respective field which is important for funding and employment. Many accreditation bodies require that faculty remain active in their field; publishing is the most common way to show active engagement.
Although your dissertation has been published in ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, you are still the copyright holder.
As long as you hold the copyright, you are able to decide how your dissertation may be made available (e.g., reworked into a book, divided into a few journal articles, presented at a poster session, etc.). For additional information, please see Copyright and Your Dissertation or Thesis: Ownership, Fair Use, and Your Rights and Responsibilities.
Note, however, that you will need to ensure that you have permission to reproduce images, test instruments, etc. in other formats. This may require contacting the author or copyright holder of the work.
