One of the ways in which credibility is measured in the science community is through the number of research papers published by a researcher. This puts a lot of pressure on young researchers to prove themselves in their respective fields. Creating an original piece of research can be a difficult and time-consuming task for postdoctoral researchers, to the extent that coming up with a research question can be scary. One of the solutions to this predicament is converting one’s PhD thesis into research papers. Since researchers usually spend a considerable amount of time conducting an original kind of research during their PhD, that research can be published in form of papers, giving them a head-start in their publishing career.
