Scientometric perspectives on the analysis of academic mobility: a reflection on current and potential developments

Abstract

In this presentation a reflection about the current and potential scientometric developments to study academic mobility will be introduced, with the aim of stimulating discussions about next steps in the future development of scientometric indicators and analytics on academic mobility worldwide.
