Official identity sources
Profiles with an institutional, hospital or research-centre source.
Research relevance is not the same as PhD supervision.
This report describes the current evidence coverage of all 500 profiles. The audit now separates research activity, formal doctoral-supervision evidence, and current recruitment so that an academic title is never presented as proof of PhD availability.

Direct institutional emails
Published addresses for the named researcher; no generated email patterns.
Official routing contacts
Department, laboratory or programme contacts used when a direct email is not public.
Official portraits
Institution-published portraits; all remaining profiles use initials.
Specific research evidence
Profiles with a recorded institutional statement about research activity or leadership.
Explicit doctoral-supervision evidence
Profiles with an official source that explicitly records doctoral supervision, a supervised PhD, or PhD recruitment.
Explicit PhD recruitment statements
Official graduate profiles currently stating that PhD candidates are being recruited; capacity must still be confirmed.
Represented-country guides
Every country represented in the 500-profile directory now has a browsable, indexable research guide.
Meaningful institution guides
Curated doctoral hubs and centres with at least two verified profiles; single-profile institutions remain accessible without thin SEO pages.
Supervision evidence queue
Profiles retained for research relevance whose formal doctoral-supervision evidence still requires strengthening.
Labels mean exactly what they say.
- Institution confirmed
- An official institutional identity source is linked.
- Research activity
- An official source supports research activity, a lab role, trials, publications or academic leadership. This does not prove PhD-supervisor eligibility.
- Doctoral supervision evidence
- A specific official source identifies the person as a doctoral supervisor, records a supervised doctorate, or explicitly lists PhD recruitment.
- Currently recruiting PhD students
- The official graduate profile explicitly states recruitment. Applicants must still confirm project fit, funding, capacity and admissions eligibility.
- Availability must be confirmed
- No recruitment claim is inferred from a title, publication record, laboratory leadership or fellowship teaching.
