“…Scholarly publications can be used to estimate the impact of scientific diaspora in terms of productivity and scientific collaboration (Anand et al, 2009;Basu, 2014;Marmolejo-Leyva et al, 2015). These publications can also be used to analyze the economic impact of brain drain, as well as possible opportunities to increase the economic potential of the home nation (Barré et al, 2003;Meyer, 2001;Rabinowitz & Abramson, 2022;Tejada & Bolay, 2010;Tejada et al, 2013).…”

Purpose Nearly 122 scientific journals are currently being published in Armenia—of which only six are indexed by WoS and/or Scopus databases. The majority of the national journals are published in the Armenian language, solely possessing abstracts written in English, although there are also English-language and multi-language journals with articles not only in Armenian but also in other foreign languages. The aim of this article is to study the visibility of the (non-indexed) national Armenian journals in the WoS database through citation analysis. In consideration of the existence of a relevant Armenian “diaspora” in the world, this article also attempts to estimate its impact in terms of citation statistics. Design/methodology/approach For this end, we have identified citations to the national/domestic Armenian journals in the WoS database in comparison with the share of citations received from “diaspora” researchers (researchers of Armenian origin born in foreign countries and those originally from Armenia who have emigrated to foreign countries). Findings Among the 116 Armenian domestic journals analyzed (not indexed by WoS), only 47 were found to be cited in WoS. Of these journals, almost 12% are citations by “diaspora” researchers, most of which concern Social Science and Humanities journals. Research limitations Although the surnames of Armenians end with -i(y)an, sometimes, the Diaspora Armenians, surnames are changed or modified or they are not ending with -i(y)an, in this case we may fail to identify them. Practical implications This study can help to build new, more deep and comprehensive relations with scientific diasporas. Originality/value This study offers a new understanding of multifaced research collaboration with scientific diasporas and their role in internationalization of domestic journals.

The devastating russian military invasion of Ukraine forced millions of people to flee their homes. Among those affected are highly skilled scientists, resulting in a significant loss of human capital for Ukraine, which is crucial for the post-war reconstruction. To address this pressing issue, the Young Scientists Council (YSC) at the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine launched the “Ukrainian Science Diaspora” initiative to mitigate the brain drain.The purpose of this study is to outline the first steps taken by this initiative. Moreover, it demonstrates lessons learned from the pilot meetings. The essence of the initiative is to keep links with scholars who left Ukraine and join the efforts of different migration waves of Ukrainian scientists for the further rebuilding of Ukraine. The YSC and other institutions prepared the analytical report on the needs and plans of Ukrainian scientists abroad. In addition, the paper highlights various events and activities organized by the YSC and other self-formed associations of Ukrainian scientists worldwide, working together to establish networks that could take the form of public organizations or be part of local unions of scientists. At present, efforts are focused on identifying Ukrainian scientists interested in joining this initiative, with the ultimate goal of identifying areas where Ukrainian scientists can participate in post-war reconstruction. The success of this initiative will undoubtedly play a crucial role in ensuring that Ukraine can retain its valuable human capital and continue to thrive in the face of adversity.
