I defended my master’s thesis in engineering. My advisor never helped me, didn't show interest and didn't read my manuscript – I am pretty sure about that. Now he wants to publish the thesis as a scientific article. Even if he will write the article, I don't want the project to be published for several reasons:
I didn't like the topic that much and I don't have time, energy and interest anymore. The method has some serious issues and needs more work, but he doesn't even know that because he didn't read the report and wasn't present during the project. I don't feel comfortable with publishing the thesis as it is now because I think it's really bad honestly, but at the same time I really don't want to spend energy explaining what to further work on, cleaning the code etc. Also, I don't think it's fair that he publishes given that he didn't help in any way.
This thesis was really psychologically stressful for me, I felt desperate and alone; and I would like to just say no and close this chapter forever. I don't know if I am obliged to send the codes and data or if I can refuse doing so. Does someone have any suggestion on how I should proceed?
After this bad experience, I am 100% sure I will not work in academia, so I don't even care about publishing in view of a possible PhD.
