“…More directions that need further investigation, particularly for the Europe and Central Asia region, are defined in research initiated by World Bank. They include factors affecting the demand and supply of international students; impact of foreign direct investment in higher education services as well as impact of international student and scholar mobility on global collaborative patents (Chellaraj, 2019).…”

“…The main problem of researchers and students from China and India who try to build their careers in this way is the shock of social displacement. In the homeland most of them belong to the middle class or upper middle class; when they move, they significantly lower their social status and spend a lot of time and effort to take a more worthy position without a guarantee that they will achieve success (Chellaraj, 2019;Faist, 2018;Rostovskaya, Pismennaya and Skorobogatova, 2018). Significant intellectual migration rates have led to the fact that there is rather fierce competition for jobs in universities and research centers of the Global North, and various forms of temporary employment of scientific personnel have been common for a decade (Chang, Chen and Xiong, 2018;Wang, 2020).…”

“…Monopolization of knowledge, access to resources, and publishing monopoly, which limits access to the ability to publish research, were cited as the most important reasons (Collyer, 2018;Tripathi et al, 2018). Similarly, Chinese researchers had collected the opinions of Chinese and Indian scholars, who described the monopolization of methodology and presentation of scientific research in accordance with the intellectual tradition adopted in the West, which greatly limited the possibilities of their colleagues from the Global South (Chellaraj, 2019).…”

One of the major problems in the relationship between the Global South and the Global North is the the drain of intellectual capital from the economies and education systems of the most developed countries of the Global South, which bothers both developing countries and some European ones. The purpose of the study is to reveal the reasons for the migration of scientists and students from Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China, South Africa (BRICS countries) and identify the consequences of the process through the example of a Russian university by studying the characteristics of personal experience and motivation of students and teachers. The research is devoted to the study of academic activity abroad and the attitude of 360 four- and five-year students and 321 teachers at Novosibirsk State University (Novosibirsk, the Russian Federation) towards the practice. The survey results revealed that a relatively small number of respondents (31.07% of teachers and 9.03% of students) have experience of foreign academic activity; the large majority of participants highly assessed the possibility of studying and working abroad (4.87 and 3.48 on a 5-point Likert scale among teachers and students, respectively). The results of the study are in line with the findings of similar studies on academic migration in other BRICS countries; therefore, they can be extrapolated in a broader context. In particular, according to all respondents, the possibility of repeated or circular migration is extremely low (0.88 and 1.61). The research results can help to manage international research and exchange programs, as well as to regulate university training programs and academic migration. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of the motivation of scientists and students on academic migrating and their assessment of migration intentions based on an example of a single educational institution and region.

“…For example, migration and motivation theories have been adopted primarily to study the antecedents of ISM in higher education, whereas acculturation theory has been extensively applied to examine experiences and outcomes. The results imply that research on ISM in higher education brings together insights from different disciplines (Chellaraj, 2019;Gümüs ¸et al, 2020). By identifying gaps in existing research, this study reveals the field's thematic, theoretical, contextual, and methodological limitations.…”

This study aimed to synthesize fragmented knowledge about international student mobility (ISM) in higher education to provide an understanding of existing studies and directions for future research. To this end, the authors conducted a systematic literature review using a hybrid approach that integrated bibliometric analysis with the theory, context, and method (TCM) framework (Paul et al., Journal of World Business, 2017;52(3):327-342). Applying bibliometric analysis, this study found publication trends, prolific journals, influential articles, and major themes in the field, whereas the TCM framework helped identify widely used theories (motivation theory, immigration theory, acculturation theory, learning theory, and capital theory), research contexts (destination country or region, population, and others), and methods in research and provided future study directions. The identified gaps in the existing literature suggest that future research should develop theoretical foundations and research designs to analyse new processes, patterns, and issues in ISM in higher education within the context of today's changing international environment.In addition to identifying the key research themes and research foundations of ISM in higher education, this review can help add value to the ISM literature from a marketing perspective. This is the first comprehensive literature review of this topic using a hybrid approach.
