WHERE DO UNIVERSITIES RECRUIT RESEARCHERS? 2020 To examine the results in an interactive manner and in more detail, including a breakdown by the seniority of current researchers and the initial location given by a city, which are not presented in this study for the sake of brevity, we refer readers to the web-based application available here: https://idea.cerge-ei.cz/files/RecruitingResearchers/ Where do universities recruit researchers? Vít Macháček a Martin Srholec Think-tank IDEA of the Economic Institute of Czech Academy of Sciences Study No. 2/2020 February 2020 Methodology and data The analysis is based on data on the affiliations of authors recorded in the Scopus citation database (2019a). Scopus is more suitable for the purpose of this study than the Web of Science, because it covers roughly twice as many journals, hence it also provides data on more researchers, and offers more detailed publication histories. The data was downloaded at the end of June and beginning of July 2019. Current researchers The study covers researchers who published at least one article in a Scopus-indexed journal with affiliation to the respective university and which was categorized in the respective discipline in 2018. To prevent doctoral students who have not yet entered the labour marker for researchers from driving the results, we include only those who published their first article in 2012 or earlier. First, all articles published in 2018 that are associated with each university and discipline were found with the help of Advanced Search on the Scopus website, and downloaded as a CSV file. The following query was used: AF-ID(affiliation-id) AND SUBJAREA(ScopusCode) AND DOCTYPE(ar) AND PUBYEAR = 2018 6
