Abstract

The dominant idea is that transnational academic mobility stimulates research and the production of scientific knowledge. However, what processes are behind this pattern? What are the mechanisms and factors of impact of academic mobility on the production of scientific knowledge? Despite the extensive literature on academic mobility, research on the topic is scattered, and questions remain without a satisfactory answer. We contribute to the study of these issues through a systematic problem-oriented review of English-language and Russian-language publications for 1994-2021 based on the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Research mostly confirms the positive effect of mobility, brought about by the action of three interrelated mechanisms: scientific collaboration, acquisition / transfer of knowledge, and integration into the scientific community. However, this effect does not arise automatically and depends on a number of factors that determine the variability of the consequences of academic mobility. The novelty of our review consists in the identification of negative effects along with positive ones, analysis of both qualitative and quantitative transformations and various types of knowledge, including tacit knowledge.
