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.
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.
For more details about the study, please refer to Sanliturk et al. (2021).
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.
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).
