How to Publish Academic Works
Free Online Publishing of Academic Essays and Dissertations
There are many online services offering cost-free publishing of nearly all types of academic writing – from PhD and Master’s dissertations to movie reviews, presentations and essays. Choosing the right one depends on many factors – that is, the speed with which given publication will be processed, the academic authority of a given publishing house as well as financial conditions defined in the contract.
Is Publishing Academic Papers Allowed?
Usually, yes. Once you decide which essays or dissertations you’ve written should be published, you should ask qualified persons in your university if students are free to process, publish as well as sell their papers and dissertations anyhow they like. In some countries, universities may hold exclusive rights to dissertations for a number of years; therefore, you should also consult state or country laws about it.
Prepare Academic Papers for Publication
You will have to proofread your papers. Apart from that, you may seek advice from your academic instructor who will be mentioned as “supervisor” on the inner cover. You can also choose to recycle several papers into one; publish some of you writing only partially and, generally, you are free to manipulate your academic work in any way you find appropriate.
Publish Academic Papers and Dissertations in the Web
There are at least two, quite diverse, options. Each of them differs in terms of requirements as well as perks of publishing academic essays with specific company.
Based in Munich, Germany, Grin offers several options. Academic papers can be published in the free archive and be made available for download. Next, you can upload your papers to the paid archive – it will be read by professors contracted by Grin and they will decide if a given paper is apt for publication. The company will name the price and you’ll receive 40% of what is sold. Depending on quality, academic essays will be available for purchase either as e-books or as books containing unique ISBN numbers. After some time, the latter will be sold through other online services such as Amazon. The minimum number of pages is 10.
This is an Italian website publishing Bachelor and Master dissertationsexclusively. It doesn’t offer the allocation of an ISBN number. Instead, it ensures a “virtual showcase”. All dissertations are sold for the same price and these are not subject to negotiation. Additionally, published authors can both translate other theses into any languages they know and have their own thesis translated. Payments for the translated works go to both the author and the translator once it gets sold.
It’s really worth the effort, even if it’s not worth the money. Financial perks are mediocre – not to say negligible. Still, having several academic works published can give you a leg up on the competition in the marketplace and enhance your professional resume.
