I have a Master's Thesis to submit to my university. The work that came out of it is also sent for possible publication but the accept/reject notification date is way late. My guide asked me to cite in the thesis that it has been sent for submission.

I was curious how often this happens? Is thesis content and manuscript content the same? (In my case it is not). Do people add an entry to the reference section or just somewhere in the text? (Also if you follow a specific format for it, please include it your answer). Feel free to add any anecdotes if you want to share. Thanks!
