get Master thesis published after graduation

H

Hi everyone,

I'm a new phd student (graduated from the Master's program last year), but my question is about my master's thesis publication.

The story is that my master thesis supervisor contacted me after graduation and asked am I interested in getting my Master thesis published, but the additional analysis was required. I replied yes immediately, but I didn't get her reply until around four months later saying she was busy with other work and asked again if I was interested in the publication but this time nominated another person to do the additional analysis. I agreed again and said I am happy to help whenever needed. But now over half year past, and I still didn't get any further updates...

I feel very confused now, and I don't know whether I should ask for any updates from her... If she was not interested to publish my work at the beginning, why did she still ask me?

I'm now doing PhD in another Department but at the same university tho.

Does anyone have any advice? Thank you...

Hello,
May I ask why do you worry? If she has forgotten or not more interested, this should not impact you much. Just carry on with your PhD and think about it when she "wakes up" again.

Hi!
Thanks for your reply. Getting the publication would be a bonus, but you're right, it won't impact me very much now. Just felt confused about my supervisor's behaviour/attitude...

I understand your confusion. I do not like it when people send me mixed signals. I like things to be straight.
