I recently had an
author send me their entire dissertation as an article to be published.
Needless to say all of the information on the journal website discusses word
and page limitations, and a dissertation does not fall into that requirement!
This example illustrates a basic issue that you should remember when submitting
an article to a journal for possible publication, make sure you are following
the directions exactly as stated on the journal's website. Every journal varies
on what they want, some follow APA exactly, others have modified the
requirements. You will not know what they want until you read the directions.
What happened to the
dissertation that was submitted? It was rejected! Do not follow their example!
