• Abstract summary: We analyze the trends in international migration to and from Germany among published researchers over the past 24 years. We show that while Germany has been highly integrated into the global movement of researchers, the country has been sending more published researchers abroad than it has attracted.

• Abstract: Germany has become a major country of immigration, as well as a research powerhouse in Europe. As Germany spends a higher fraction of its GDP on research and development than most countries with advanced economies, there is an expectation that Germany should be able to attract and retain international scholars who have high citation performance. Using an exhaustive set of over eight million Scopus publications, we analyze the trends in international migration to and from Germany among published researchers over the past 24 years. We assess changes in institutional affiliations for over one million researchers who have published with a German affiliation address at some point during the 1996-2020 period. We show that while Germany has been highly integrated into the global movement of researchers, with particularly strong ties to the US, the UK, and Switzerland, the country has been sending more published researchers abroad than it has attracted. While the balance has been largely negative over time, analyses disaggregated by gender, citation performance, and field of research show that compositional differences in migrant flows may help to alleviate persistent gender inequalities in selected fields.

  In 1960 14% of 333 research fields were related to AI, but this increased to over half of all research fields by 1972, over 80% by 1986 and over 98% in current times. In 1960 14% of 333 research fields were related to AI (many in computer science), but this increased to over half of all research fields by 1972, over 80% by 1986 and over 98% in current times. We conclude that the context of the current surge appears different, and that interdisciplinary AI application is likely to be sustained.

  Military drones are taking an increasingly prominent role in armed conflict, and the use of multiple drones in a swarm can be useful. Who the drivers of the research are and what sub-domains exist is analyzed and visually presented in this research using NLP techniques based on 946 studies. Overall, 2019 and 2020 saw the most works published, with significant interest in military swarm drones as early as 2008.

  This paper provides unique evidence of how international collaboration clusters have formed and evolved over the past 50 years across various scientific publications. We first examine how the global presence of top-tier countries has changed in 15 natural science disciplines over time, as measured by publication volumes and international collaboration rates. We then perform a hierarchical clustering to analyse and visualise the international collaboration clusters for each discipline and period.

  We use Scopus bibliometric data on 8 million publications from 1.1 million researchers who have published at least once with an affiliation address from Germany in 1996-2020. Our analyses shed light on important career stages and gender disparities between researchers who remain in Germany and those who both migrate out and those who eventually return.

  We analyze all researchers who have published with a Russian affiliation address in Scopus-indexed sources in 1996-2020. While Russia was a donor country in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it has experienced a relatively balanced circulation of researchers in more recent years. Overall, researchers emigrating from Russia outnumbered and outperformed researchers immigrating to Russia.
