🆕 study reveals global patterns of the migration of scientists shedding light on how researchers move both within and between countries.
A team of researchers @mpidr.bsky.social found large disparities in the appeal of various countries and regions to scientists.

Very proud of this work by Faeze Ghorbanpour, @thiagomalaguth.bsky.social and me, which addresses the left censoring issues in migration research that uses digital trace data.
It will appear in the proceedings of #ICWSM2025, and Faeze is going to present it there.

Some subnational regions were disproportionately more attractive to receive scholars from both internal and international origins. Some regions were consistently sending scholars to both internal and international destinations: brain drain. Data on the @smdatabase.bsky.social doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
