“…Middle Eastern countries are diverse in terms of culture, social patterns, ethnicity, language, religion, political system, economy, and innovation. The UAE, in the Middle East, adopts innovation and appreciates innovative approaches for organizations and individuals for the sake of peace and economic prosperity (Gul et al, 2015). While the Middle East, in general, is far behind in contributing new knowledge compared to the rest of the world, the UAE has undertaken the challenges of promoting a knowledge-based economy through investment in education and innovation (Ryan & Daly, 2019).…”

“…Measuring the efficiency of a country in the output of scientific papers with respect to econometric and demographic indicators such as the gross domestic product (GDP), research and development (R&D) expenditure, and number of researchers has been a topic of a large number of research papers (Blickenstaff and Moravcsik 1982, Leydesdorff and Gauthier 1996, Amsden and Mourshed 1997, May 1997, Rousseau and Rousseau 1998, De Moya-Anegón and Herrero-Solana 1999, King 2004, Man et al 2004, Falagas et al 2006, Ugolini et al 2007, Shelton 2008, Vinkler 2008, Leydesdorff and Wagner 2009, Basu 2014, Gul et al 2015. Such analyses help to understand the relation between the economic indicators and the volume of the innovative output for estimating a nations' scientific wealth, and for evaluating scientific policies (Crespi andGeuna 2008, Pouris 2012).…”

A set of 12,436 papers published in 20 GIScience journals in the period 2000-2014 were analysed to extract publication patterns and trends. This comprehensive scientometric study focuses on multiple aspects: output volume, citations, national output and efficiency (output adjusted with econometric indicators), collaboration, altmetrics (Altmetric score, Twitter mentions, and Mendeley bookmarking), authorship, and length. Examples of notable observations are that 5% countries account for 76% of global GIScience output; a paper published 15 years ago received a median of 12 citations; and the share of international collaborations in GIScience has more than tripled since 2000 (31% papers had authors from multiple countries in 2014, an increase from 10% in 2000).

“…For this, attraction of foreign talent is a key element. Some outcomes of such investment are already visible, with some of these countries experiencing a recent growth in scientific production (Cavacini, 2016;Gul, Nisa et al, 2015;Hassan Al Marzouqi, Alameddine et al, 2019;Sarwar & Hassan, 2015). Several international experts' groups have regularly met to discuss the international migration and developments in some of the MENA countries (International Labour Office, 2009;League of Arab States, 2009;United Nations, 2002-2018.…”

This study investigates the scientific mobility and international collaboration networks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region between 2008 and 2017. By using affiliation metadata available in scientific publications, we analyze international scientific mobility flows and collaboration linkages. Three complementary approaches allow us to obtain a detailed characterization of scientific mobility. First, we uncover the main destinations and origins of mobile scholars for each country. Results reveal geographical, cultural and historical proximities. Cooperation programs also contribute to explain some of the observed flows. Second, we use the academic age. The average academic age of migrant scholars in MENA was about 12.4 years. The academic age group 6–10 years is the most common for both emigrant and immigrant scholars. Immigrants are relatively younger than emigrants, except for Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Turkey. Scholars who migrated to Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Jordan, and Morocco were on average younger than emigrants by 1.5 years from the same countries. Third, we analyze gender differences. We observe a clear gender gap: Male scholars represent the largest group of migrants in MENA. We conclude by discussing the policy relevance of the scientific mobility and collaboration aspects.
