Know a master graduate looking for a funded doctoral position? Please share this!
Come work with @ezagheni and me at @MPIDRnews on topics related to migration of scholars and the highly-skilled.

📄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

🆕📰 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.

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.

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”

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 https://t.co/ERqVRckDlv
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

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
📣Call for Registration! Migration and Mobility Symposium @MPIDRnews
An event to promote exchange & collaboration among scientists interested in scholarly #migration & scientific #mobility.
