Scholarly Migration and Scientific Mobility: MPIDR recently hosted a symposium to bring together researchers from different disciplines and countries. It was organized by Ebru Sanliturk, Aliakbar Akbaritabar, @akbaritabar.bsky.social, Tom Theile and Emilio Zagheni demogr.mpg.de/en/news_events…

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/ Maciej Jan Danko Xinyi Zhao Emilio Zagheni MPIDR #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 Scholarly Migration Database doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…

Very proud of this work by Faeze Ghorbanpour 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…

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…

📄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%).📊
