What is a PhD by Publication?

So you’ve done the research: you’ve written the papers; you’ve attended the conferences, presented and defended the results; you’ve listened to the feedback and you’ve had the final versions published in refereed journals. You’ve done the hard yards: you know about the research process; research philosophy; research methodologies; data analysis and you have a good understanding of the published literature in your discipline.

Just one issue: for whatever reason you never got around to doing a PhD. All is not lost. It’s possible to submit your work for the award of PhD by Publication and gain the recognition of a doctorate.
