Internal migration of scientists in Russia and the USA: the case of physicists
Scientometrics. 2017. Vol. 113. No. 1. P. 105–122.
Dyachenko E.
When scientists change jobs, they bring to their new workplace the experience, tacit knowledge and social ties they acquired at their previous workplace. Not only is the level of mobility important when discussing knowledge transfer between academic organizations or between regions, but the topology of a mobility network is also of crucial importance. This study presents a comparison of the structure of internal migration networks for Russian and American physicists, more specifically for scholars working in the field of applied physics. The comparison resulted in the set of hypotheses of how the features of the network are connected to the overall scientific productivity of the system.

The concept of the “scientific elite” as a heuristic principle and a framework for sociological analysis carries the implicit assumption of the inherent superiority of a small number of 'outstanding scientists.' This paper introduces the space of science as a multidimensional distribution of agents of knowledge production across relative positions. The space of science is ...

Background:
Numerous studies have shown that indigenous populations experience poorer health outcomes compared to people with other backgrounds. However, the interpretation of these disparities remains challenging due to differences in living conditions and social environments, as well as by potential measurement-related biases. Little is known about whether the underlying mechanisms of mental health outcomes differ between ...

Due to persistent territorial socio-economic imbalances, some residents of Russian villages and small towns leave for a long time to work without changing their place of permanent residence. Such internal temporary labor migration is referred to by some researchers as otkhodnichestvo, and migrants as otkhodniks, by analogy with the pre–revolutionary and early Soviet migration of ...

В статье анализируется структурный разрыв между увеличивающейся когнитивной нагрузкой и снижающейся отдачей от неё. Подход, при котором развитие научных и образовательных школ, ориентированных на тренировку суждения, может стать альтернативой количественному наращиванию вычислительных мощностей, которое служит основной стратегией Китая и США. Применительно к России традиция фундаментального образования и сильных исследовательских школ приобретает в новых условиях значение ...

This paper assesses the relationship between financial literacy and over-indebtedness of Russian households using panel data from the Survey of Consumer Finances collected in Russia during 2018–2024. Russia is an interesting case: a relatively young consumer-finance market in which a lack of financial literacy may increase the likelihood of household over-indebtedness. To test this hypothesis, ...

Health misinformation undermines public well-being, yet most research conceptualizes fact-checking as an external intervention targeting false messages only. This obscures the effects of counter-messages on initially truthful statements and diverts attention from fact-checking as a user-driven practice. This study advances misinformation research by examining fact-checking as a spontaneous, naturalistic user behavior, captured via indirect behavioral ...
