need advice: publication etiquette

[VivaRN]

I am thinking of submitting my masters thesis for publication. One of my advisors has agreed to help and continue advising me (I graduated) but the chair of my committee is not aware of this plan.

Is it assumed that my advisors are also listed as authors, or am I the sole author? I wrote and researched everything, but they both reviewed drafts and gave me feedback. Do I need to notify the chair of my intentions?

Does anyone know anything about this... ???

By what you have listed you are the sole author. If the advisor participated in the development of the thesis or did any of the analytic work then they should get authorship. Otherwise mention in the paper - ie "special thanks to" is appropriate. Ideally as stated here this should be discussed before the paper is started:

Authorship credit where it is undeserved is academic fraud.
