“…This has created the ubiquitous financial issues that higher education institutions face. This shows that academicians' career and higher education in general, must adapt to new circumstances (Tahira, 2014;Torrisi & Pernagallo, 2020…”

This study aims to deepen the understanding of the issues of an intellectual brain drain in academia. There is no doubt that higher education is vital to the growth and development of a country. Hence, the universities need to maintain highly qualified human resources to ensure effectiveness and competitiveness. This research study is focused to investigate the experiences of the academicians who are foreign qualified and migrated to advanced countries, they were asked to describe their experiences, using their own stories and interpretations of their personal experiences. The qualitative research approach was adopted to get the gist of the real reason that prompts the academicians to stay or leave their home country after getting education from abroad. The study employed social constructivism as an interpretive framework analysis method and used purposive and snowballing sampling techniques. Semi-structured interviews were recorded and analyzed. Findings suggested that career opportunities, economic, social, education, technological factors, and adjustment issues caused the brain drain of academicians of public sector universities of Islamabad. The knowledge drawn from this research can operate as a piece of useful reference information for current and future recruitment efforts, support services, and helpful in minimizing the brain drain. Keywords: Academicians, Brain Drain, Human Resource, Higher Education Institutions (HEI), Push Pull Factors.

“…To a large extent, severe brain drain is the chief wrong‐doer that causes economic and social imbalance between different regions (Li et al, 2020). Accordingly, solutions of keeping high‐level talents in economically backward areas have been a global concern (Docquier & Rapoport, 2012; Torrisi & Pernagallo, 2020).…”

To resolve the dilemma among a shortage of high‐end talents, low level of scientific research and a huge brain drain in western universities in China, we proposes a way out by building an intelligence‐alliance innovation team—a new interregional and multiagent cooperation mode. We identify major disagreements that hamper a fruitful collaboration, and then analyze reasons of such poor coordination. Given diversified backgrounds and different preferences of intelligence‐alliance innovation teams, we suggest multiagent group decision‐making as a method of seeking task coordination for participants in conflict and their problem‐solvers. Finally, a specific case is given to prove that this method can improve task coordination of intelligence‐alliance innovation teams, and that holistic feedback coordination may be the best scheme of task coordination for intelligence‐alliance innovation teams.

“…These parameters are recognized as crucial to affect decision-making [2,11,22,23]. Besides, in the academic sector, working in an excellent organizational climate, i.e., the search for job satisfaction inhibits the propensity to migrate, favoring job satisfaction with an administration that favors simplified procedures, research productivity, harmonious academic standards, and a meritocratic reward process [24].…”

Scholars had been documenting the Brain Drain phenomenon producing scientific literature for more than 50 years. After three decades of slow but steady progress, literature about this concept has accelerated its progress and growth path, in line with the 9th sustainable development goal “Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation” Thus, the present article aims to define the current theoretical trends about the analysis of advanced intellectual human capital’s international migratory phenomenon. This study uses a scientometric methodology on a corpus of 1212 articles indexed to the JCR-WoS from Social Sciences. The period covered in the study is from 1965 to 2020. The paper looks to understand how researchers studied the brain drain concept over the last 55 years in various disciplines. The report covers 99 categories from the Journal Citation Report (JCR) index. Results show that there is a scientific research critical mass that is studying the brain drain phenomenon. The analysis shows thematic trends at the sources, discourses, and consolidates classic works and some novel authors. Those new scholars and theoretical trends lead to refocused analysis beyond countries with a high development level. Such movement constitutes a new challenge in this line of research toward studying the effects of the brain drain in the peripheral areas of knowledge production.
