Abstract
Some dissertation work may be suitable for publishing onwards. Several ways to do so are described: research posters, conference presentations, and papers in academic journals. Each of these routes are described, including how to approach these possibilities and the potential for success. It’s noted that relatively little work from taught degrees will ever be suitable for publication, particularly in academic journals, but this can sometimes occur—usually in collaboration with a co-ordinating established academic.

Impact factor, or IF, matters a lot to many universities as a measure of respectability of a journal. There are several variations on this, but the most common is a mean of the number of citations in subsequently published paper, each paper achieves within three years. Typical good engineering journals usually have an IF in the range 0.4–0.9, whilst a few can achieve higher values, perhaps as high as 5.0. The highest ranked scientific journals can approach 20—reflecting that published papers are far more the stock in trade of science, than they are for engineering.
