Abstract

This study conducted a comparative analysis of scientific mobility by using curricula vitae (CV) and bibliometric analyses. This study analyzed data from the CVs and publications of 731 recipients of the Sloan Research Fellowship in Mathematics. The results revealed substantial differences in the prevalence of researchers with and without temporary institutional affiliations. Based on discrepancies in the number and names of institutions obtained from CV and publication analyses, researchers were categorized into 14 groups. The results of CV data and publication analyses were the same for only 6.7% of researchers. To address these disparities, adjustments were made to the numbers of home and temporary institutions for each researcher by using their CVs to accurately determine their actual affiliations. Notably, corrections were required for the majority of recipients in terms of the numbers of home and temporary institutions based on publication data, highlighting the importance of CVs in this context. This study identified several factors necessitating such corrections. Given the limitations of CV and bibliometric analyses, this study recommends combining both methodologies for comprehensive scientific mobility research.
