Exploring the Impact of International Mobility on International Collaboration from a Length-Width-Depth Perspective
[Purpose/Significance]Revealing the impact of the international mobility experience of scientific tal-ents on international collaboration can provide references for scientists'integration into the global academic network and optimization of national talent attraction benefits.[Method/Process]This paper took 304 Chinese scientists with interna-tional mobility experience as samples and constructed a panel dataset containing their ten-year mobility and collaboration information.Then,it analyzed international mobility from the three dimensions of time length,space width and mobility depth,and utilized random effects regression model to explore the specific impacts of each dimension of international mobility on international collaboration.[Result/Conclusion]The results show that there are great differences in the inter-national collaboration of scientists before and after returning to China.Different dimensions of international mobility have different influences on international collaboration.The time length has a significant promoting effect.The space width has a significant inhibitory effect.The mobility depth has a significant promoting effect.Based on this,it puts forward specific suggestions for the formulation of the international mobility plan for researchers,the management measures improvement of domestic research institutions and the recruitment optimization of overseas talents.
