It was a pleasure speaking on "Mobility, Migration, and Collaboration of Scholars" for the Center for Computational Social Sciences at Koç University.
Thanks to everyone for the great discussion, for the invitation, and for sharing the recording.

📄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.

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.15047…

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
