New York was cool! A very busy city! Lots to do.

I can't work out how someone with 4 (possibly 6) first author publications (presumably in high quality journals) is having difficulty with getting a phd by publication? Surely they can just go back to the university where they did their MSc and ask old supervisors/tutors?

In the UK at least, the regulations on PhDs by Publication vary, but a common requirement is that the work submitted be done by the candidate when he or she was employed or affiliated with the university in some sense.

if this person has been active in the field then surely he has the necessary contacts to find a suitable dept already?
