I am about to start some independent work, without an academic advisor. The analysis I made so far seems positive. The contribution, should it work in practice, would be interesting but not astonishing.

I am asking your counseling about how would I present the final work in order to get the PhD (or DEng, or whatever) degree.

Are universities open to this kind of endeavour? Or would I be required to go through the complete process (credits, advisor, etc)?

Another concern of mine is how and where I can publish the paper when I am not affiliated to a particular academic institution?

Thank you very much in advance for any assistance.
