ABSTRACT

Science is a global, dynamic, and collaborative activity. However, our measurements of science are largely static and do not account for the growing complexity involved in the making of science. In this talk, we discuss the development of new indicators for science that take into account scientific mobility, collaboration, specialization, and scientific leadership. We will discuss the construction of these indicators and their implications for measuring the growth of national production in science. Our talk emphasizes the anachronistic lens of “brain drain” and seeks to provide a more accurate lens through notions of “circulation.” We discuss implications at the national, global, and disciplinary levels.
