Dataset of internal migration among researchers between states in Mexico over 1996-2018

This dataset contains one of the main outputs of a study of internal migration among researchers in Mexico inferred from the affiliation addresses of Scopus publications from 1996-2018. 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.12619016) and the reference articles listed below, and license the new creations under the identical terms.

"Scholarly migration within Mexico: Analyzing internal migration among researchers using Scopus longitudinal bibliometric data." EPJ Data Science (2020). https://doi.org/10.1140/epjds/s13688-020-00252-9The dataset is provided in a comma-separated values file (.csv file) and each row represents one movement of one researcher-active scholar from a state (source) to another state (target) in Mexico in a specific year (move_year). The data can be used to produce internal migration flows for the states or possibly other migration estimates. It can also be used as an edge-list for creating a network model of migration events between states (states being the nodes of the network and each movement being represented as a directed edge from source to target).A zip file of annual networks (directed and weighted) in gml format is also provided.
