Dataset of international migration among published researchers from and to the United Kingdom over 1996-2020

This dataset contains one of the main outputs of a study on international migration among published researchers from and to the United Kingdom. The migration flows are inferred from the changes of affiliation addresses in Scopus publications from 1996-2020. Scopus data is owned and maintained by Elsevier.<br>This dataset is provided under a CC BY-NC-SA Creative Commons v 4.0 license (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike). This means that other individuals may remix, tweak, and build upon these data non-commercially, as long as they provide citations to this data repository (10.6084/m9.figshare.14207369) and the reference article listed below, and license the new creations under the identical terms.<br>For more details about the study, please refer toSanliturk et al. (2021). <br>The dataset is provided in a comma-separated values file (.csv file) and each row represents the migration flow of research-active scholars from a country to another country in a specific year. Either the origin country or the destination country is the United Kingdom.<br>The data can be used to produce migration models or possibly other measures and estimates. They can also be used as an edge list for creating a network model of migration flows (directed weighted edges) between the UK and other countries (nodes).
