Dataset of internal migration among researchers between states in Mexico over 1996-2018
dataset
posted on 2020-10-30, 12:38 authored by Andrea Miranda-González, Samin ArefSamin Aref, Tom Theile, Emilio ZagheniThis 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.

The 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.
