📄We show how adding nationality (via language models) can transform migration studies, helping distinguish emigration vs. return migration. 🇺🇸➡️🇨🇳 Literature reports high US→China emigration using academic origin. But with name origin, ~48% are return migrants (vs. 33%).📊
Have u been wondering where to find a list of publications about the Scholarly Migration Database (SMD) using the SMD data or publications by its team and collabs? Or the ones citing SMD-related works? Now, we have a public Zotero Group library to join zotero.org/groups/5999043…
🆕📰 reveals global patterns of the migration of scientists shedding light on how researchers move both within and between countries. A team of researchers @MPIDRnews found large disparities in the appeal of various countries and regions to scientists. demogr.mpg.de/go/migration-o…
Very proud of this work by @FaezeGhorbanpor Thiago Zordan Malaguth and me, which addresses the left censoring issues in migration research that uses digital trace data. It will appear in the proceedings of #ICWSM2025. Faeze is going to present it there. doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…
I am extremely happy to share. Just out in @pnas.org: “Global subnational estimates of migration of scientists reveal large disparities in internal and international flows” Open Access: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… w/ @danko_maciej @XinyiZhao16 @ezagheni @MPIDRnews #PAA2025
Some subnational regions were disproportionately more attractive to receive scholars from both internal and international origins. Some were consistently sending scholars to both internal and international destinations: brain drain. Data on @SMDatabase doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…
Scholarly Migration and Scientific Mobility: @MPIDRnews recently hosted a symposium to bring together researchers from different disciplines and countries. It was organized by @EbruSanliturk, @Akbaritabar, @TheileTom and @ezagheni demogr.mpg.de/en/news_events…
📂Find the data publicly on Zenodo doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… and all details on the website of the Scholarly Migration Database @SMDatabase scholarlymigration.org “Use them to find the causes and consequences of the migration of scholars!”, says @TheileTom 🧵4/5
👓Recommended reading📚 🆕Migration data🚶🚶♀️🚶♂️ Reliable migration data is notoriously hard to get. But very detailed longitudinal data about the mobility of almost all researchers publishing papers is hidden in big bibliometric databases like @Scopus + @OpenAlex_org 🧵1/5
