Replication data and scripts for "Gender and regional differences in scientific mobility among academics identified as potentially talented and a control group"

The proposed method for identifying potentially talented individuals seems to select researchers who are more successful in their academic careers than the researchers in the control group. The results agree with the findings of previous studies based on citation and funding data. However, higher mobility is a privilege.

Specific groups, such as those with fewer caring responsibilities and visa restrictions, could have better access to this privilege. Further research on the trade-off between higher mobility's potential advantages and disadvantages as a strategy to build a successful academic career and unequal access to mobility is necessary.
