Publishable

English Other Other Grades
Dear Colleagues,

I would like to know what is the correct adjective to be used for describing a PhD Thesis Abstract for being valid for publication. My Arabic - English colleagues suggested the following three options:

Publishable
Valid for publication
Worth Publishing

The PhD supervisor has to sign on the abstract saying that this abstract is "valid for publishing".. I would like to know what is the proper adjective that should be used in this context.

Thanks million times

agree veratek : agree with "approved for publication" - definitly not "worthy of publication"

fit for publication

worthy of publication sounds good to me if what is required is a value judgement on the content. If it is in terms of observing a certain format or standard, perhaps 'fit for publishing' is a possibility?

I meant "fit for publication", as in my answer :)

"The doctoral dissertation work should make an original contribution to knowledge and should be reported in a manner fit for publication."
