Berghahn BooksThesis can be deposited and remain publicly available. We require authors to state that their work has not been previously published in any way, but we are not concerned about the deposit or otherwise of the original PhD thesis as we require the work to be substantially worked in order to be publishable as one of our books and do not consider online availability of a thesis in an institutional repository to be an equivalent publication.09/2010Data collected by WRAP team at Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/services/library/staff/warwick-research-publications/thesis-deposits/thesis-publication/

Wiley (including Blackwell)Monographs must be substantially different from the theses on which they are based.

Yale University Press"I can confirm that we do accept monograph submissions based on theses that are available through institutional repositories. Not only, as you suggest, would we expect the author to be willing to re-work the manuscript alongside us - we would also expect the proposal itself to have already been developed beyond the scope of the thesis."24/09/2019
