journal for the publication of doctoral dissertations

A doctoral program, a structured educational program with a doctoral degree, is the highest academic degree as the endpoint. Original research with specific scientific, professional, and ethical standards is the core curriculum of any doctoral program, embodied in a doctoral dissertation as the defining component.1 A doctoral dissertation should contain novelty in its field, thus advancing a body of knowledge, making it a perfect candidate for publication material in a peer- reviewed scientific journal. Published dissertation also increases citation index2 and prevents unnecessary study replication efforts and systematic reviews/meta-analyses biases, which usually exclude unpublished thesis or dissertation.3 However, unpublished doctoral dissertations still exist, commonly due to negative and nonsignificant results, leading to the “file drawer” dissertation phenomenon.4
