Amidst increasing immigration, immigrant knowledge can encounter barriers to recognition in the host country. Immigrant professionals in particular often experience non-recognition of their international credentials and expertise. Using the SALSA methodology, this article presents an integrative review of the literature on the recognition of…

Research on scientific careers finds a mover's advantage. International migration correlates with increased visibility and productivity. However, if scientists who move internationally, on average, enter into more prestigious employments than they came from, extant research may overestimate the direct performance gains associated with…

This study speaks to the larger question of how mobile upbringing that spans tensions between multiple communities across the globe influences one's construction of identity and belonging.
