论文摘要
这项研究调查了2008年至2017年之间中东和北非地区的科学流动性和国际合作网络。通过使用科学出版物中的隶属元数据，我们分析了国际科学流动性流和协作联系。三种互补的方法使我们能够获得科学流动性的详细表征。首先，我们揭示了每个国家的移动学者的主要目的地和起源。结果揭示了地理，文化和历史接近。合作计划还有助于解释一些观察到的流程。其次，我们使用学术时代。 MENA移民学者的平均学年大约12.4岁。对于移民和移民学者来说，6至10岁的学术年龄组最常见。移民比移民年轻，除了伊朗，巴勒斯坦，黎巴嫩和土耳其。迁移到海湾合作委员会国家，约旦和摩洛哥的学者平均比移民年轻1。5年。第三，我们分析性别差异。我们观察到明显的性别差距：男性学者是北非地区最大的移民。我们总结了科学流动性和协作方面的政策相关性。
This study investigates the scientific mobility and international collaboration networks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region between 2008 and 2017. By using affiliation metadata available in scientific publications, we analyse international scientific mobility flows and collaboration linkages. Three complementary approaches allow us to obtain a detailed characterization of scientific mobility. First, we uncover the main destinations and origins of mobile scholars for each country. Results reveal geographical, cultural and historical proximities. Cooperation programs also contribute to explain some of the observed flows. Second, we use the academic age. The average academic age of migrant scholars in MENA was about 12.4 years. The academic age group 6-to-10 years is the most common for both emigrant and immigrant scholars. Immigrants are relatively younger than emigrants, except for Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Turkey. Scholars who migrated to Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Jordan and Morocco were in average younger than emigrants by 1.5 year from the same countries. Third, we analyse gender differences. We observe a clear gender gap: Male scholars represent the largest group of migrants in MENA. We conclude discussing the policy relevance of the scientific mobility and collaboration aspects.
