dc.description.abstract [EN] The increasing literature addressing international mobility of researchers has repeatedly pointed out the lack of empirical data compiled over the last two decades, jeopardizing progress in the understanding of the characteristics and impacts of such human flows. This paper makes a contribution to the field by exploring the extent to which information obtained from researchers' electronic curriculum vitae (CV) may be used to study temporary geographical mobility. We exploit a new type of data set-a comprehensive database of electronic CVs-developing a broad set of cross-discipline mobility indicators to assess the dimensions and characteristics of international research visits among a population of over 10,000 researchers. The sample population is made up of PhD holders working in the regional research system of Andalusia, Spain. Information regarding their international research visits over the last four decades is downloaded from CVs contained in the electronic scientific information system of the region. We assess mobility rates and the characteristics of the temporary mobile population. The analysis of visiting patterns shows significant differences in mobility profiles in terms of frequency, duration and destination of visits, across disciplines, career stages and time periods. The study also shows how different definitions of international mobility lead to substantial variations in cross-discipline mobility rates. es_ES
dc.description.sponsorship This study was initiated in the framework of two projects which provided resources for data processing and international collaboration: The project EURO-CV (Building indicators for researchers' mobility based on electronic curriculum vitae) funded by the European Network of Excellence PRIME (Policies for Research and Innovation in the Move towards the European Research Area; Project CIT1-CT-2003-506596 under the sixth European Framework Program) and the project CV-IBERO-AMERICANO (Scientific careers of Argentinean and Spanish researchers: a comparative study based on CV analysis) funded by the Spanish National Agency for Cooperation and Development (AECID). Preliminary results of the study were presented in meetings within the above two projects, and also at the Annual Meeting for the Society of the Social Studies of Science in 2009, at the XI Conference of the Spanish Sociology Association (June, 2010) and at the Workshop on Internationalisation in Higher Education: Socio-legal perspectives on Contemporary Mobilities (University of Cambridge, November 2010). The authors would like to thank the numerous colleagues that provided feedback in these various fora. We are also highly grateful to the "Consejeria de Economia, Innovacion y Ciencia" at the Regional Government of Andalusia for providing the data for the study. In particular, we thank Samaly Santa for downloading all the utilized information from the electronic CV system. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to Richard Woolley for his detailed comments and suggestions to the draft. es_ES
