“…Enabling greater interconnections among knowledge producers across the invisible Global North-South divide, research internationalization -including that which results from involuntary academic mobility -can serve to empower those whose voices are less heard in the World Scientific System (Beigel, 2014). While this process will not reshape "the geography of science" (Skupien & Rüffin, 2020), it may still contribute to reducing the existing global inequalities in knowledge production.…”

“…Hazard impact therefore has a relatively 7/20 small influence on research activity, while country wealth is much more influential (Wealth over Woe). This disparity is likely due to highly unequal research funding and research capacities between high-income and low-income countries (Skupien and Rüffin, 2020).…”

Wealth over Woe: global biases in hydro-hazard research

Floods, droughts, and rainfall-induced landslides are hydro-geomorphic hazards that affect millions of people every year. Anticipation, mitigation, and adaptation to these hazards is increasingly outpaced by their changing magnitude and frequency due to climate change. A key question for society is whether the research we pursue has the potential to address knowledge gaps and to reduce potential future hazard impacts where they will be the most severe. We use natural language processing, based on a new climate hazard taxonomy, to review, identify, and geo-locate out of 100 million abstracts those that deal with hydro-hazards. We find that the spatial distribution of study areas is mostly defined by human activity, national wealth, data availability, and population distribution. Hydro-hazards, which impact large numbers of people, increase research activity, but with a strong disparity between low- and high-income countries. We find that a 100 times higher impact is needed before low-income countries reach comparable research activity to high-income countries. This "Wealth over Woe" bias needs to be addressed by increasing research on hydro-hazards in highly impacted and under-researched regions, or in those sufficiently socio-hydrologically similar. We urgently need to reduce knowledge base biases to mitigate and adapt to changing hydro-hazards if we want to achieve a sustainable and equitable future for all global citizens.

“…L'internationalisation s'appuie sur des activités internationales (Knight, 2004) que Jacob et Kearny (2020) regroupent en trois catégories : les collaborations entre chercheurs ou entre établissements, la mobilité et le recrutement. Suivant Skupien et Rüffin (2019), nous considérons que les demandes de financement international (y compris pour la recherche) peuvent aussi être assimilées à une activité internationale. Toutes ces activités ne semblent cependant pas avoir la même influence sur la production de recherche des SES.…”

La recherche universitaire est une activité qui transcende les frontières géographiques et qui se construit à même des expertises, des ressources, une mobilité et des collaborations internationales L’objectif de cet article est d’examiner l’influence perçue de l’internationalisation sur la production de recherche par les professeurs d’universités à forte intensité de recherche dans cinq provinces canadiennes. Une enquête à laquelle 1 045 professeurs ont répondu suivie d’analyses descriptives, tests d’échantillons appariés et d’une ANOVA, révèlent que l’internationalisation est perçue comme ayant une influence positive sur la production de recherche. Les collaborations internationales de recherche, le recrutement international de professeurs et d’étudiants aux cycles supérieurs, de même que le financement international de la recherche, sont considérés comme ayant plus d’influence que le recrutement d’étudiants au premier cycle et les partenariats institutionnels.
