Does a home license allow for research and publishing results (technical papers) as an individual (only me at home and no one else, no other organization, company, etc.)?

My endeavors are solely my own and are not related to any organization, group, company, governemnt agency, etc., etc.
If there are licensing limitations / restrictions then what do I need to do to remedy this ?

You want a bullet-proof answer. Then contact the sales team and explain exactly, what you want to do with your Matlab license. I've never seen somebody, who publishes papers privately, but even if you do this, this sounds like scientific work in my ears. Note that you can establish your own "institute" just by pinning a new door bell nameplate at your house.
To be really sure, do not ask the public forum maintained by voluntary contributors, but contact MathWorks offcially using the "Contact Us" button.

Home licenses are for hobbyists. Looks like you are authoring such papers as part of your hobby.

Commercial / Professional / Standard (whatever they are calling it today) is sold to individuals who do not qualify for the other licenses.
You should look at the Academic, Home, and Student licenses as being reduced-price licenses that some people are qualified for; anyone else needs to get the Commercial / Standard / Professional license.

In R2017a, look in matlabroot at license_agreement.txt, somewhere near line 970
2.4. Home
(i) A Home License may be licensed by an individual and may be used only
for personal use. A Home License may not be used for activities that are
commercial, for profit, professional, academic, government, or
revenue-generating.
The "professional" clause applies even if no revenue is being generated.
There are some journals that permit papers from people who would not be considered professionals, but it is increasingly rare for a respected journal to accept a paper that does not have at least one co-author with a (cited) graduate degree. Part of that is due to competition for resources; another part of that is due to the volume of sheer crud and crackpot that the respected journals get. Someone with no professional reputation has less to lose by publishing bad science or forged data.
Anyhow, "professional" or not, it becomes difficult to argue that publishing a paper is "personal use".
But really you should talk to Mathworks Sales.
