Abstract

In the current academic context, scientific production is key to the prestige and relevance of universities. The conversion of theses into academic articles represents a fundamental strategy to increase institutional visibility and contribute to the advancement of knowledge. However, many thesis works, despite their value, remain unpublished due to lack of experience in publication, lack of knowledge of the editorial process and limitations of time and resources. This article addresses the importance of thesis-to-article conversion workshops as an effective means to overcome these barriers, proposing the implementation of institutional programs that offer support in scientific writing, mentoring and resources, encouraging publication as a natural step in research. It is concluded that the adoption of these practices not only increases academic production, but also fosters a culture of excellence and continuity in university research.
