Dataset on researcher's mobility by utilising bibliometric data: Case of Finland-based scholars for the duration of 2008-2018.

ABSTRACT: Scientific discoveries are the result of global collaboration and often the multidisciplinary nature of collaborations. A core element of these successful collaborations will materialise through a researcher's mobility in location and disciplinary focus. Researchers experience numerous opportunities to practice locational mobility throughout their careers as well as by conducting multidisciplinary research. Both changes have short- and long-term impacts on individual researchers and science, technology, and innovation systems that have an immediate interest for the public and private research and development funding mechanisms. With the advancement in data science tools and increasing computational capacities, we can use bibliometric data for calculating a researcher's mobility on location and a disciplinary focus over time. We looked at Finland as a case, and by incorporating analytical procedures, the processed data is capable of delivering insights on researcher mobility between cities over time as well as disciplinary change over time. This dataset can reveal hidden dynamics in the scholar's career progress. If combined with funding information and mission-oriented policies, the dataset can evaluate the long-lasting effect of instruments in mobilising researchers, steering research agendas, and consequently the resulting impacts.

Project description:This dataset contains the material volumes, masses, and intensities for a total of 45 residential building cohorts in Finland from the 1940s to the 2010s. The specific building types included are one dwelling houses and blocks of flats. The data were drawn from representative case buildings and their derivatives. The data are primarily based on construction drawings, complemented by other documents such as bills of materials. The source material was mainly obtained from the archives of the building inspection authority of the city of Vantaa, Finland. Material volumes were derived from the construction drawings either directly from annotations or, when needed, by further measurements made based on the same material. For minor lacks of information in the original documents, documents of similar buildings and literature were consulted. A total of 26 buildings were inventoried directly. For each included combination of building type, construction decade, and bearing material these were the ones with the most common façade material. In addition, 19 buildings with the second most common façade material were formed based on these to represent the 45 cohorts. Material masses, and by extension intensities, were calculated based on the recorded volumes and typical densities of construction materials used in Finland. The material volumes, masses, and intensities per material and in total are presented as three spreadsheet tables, along with a description sheet, on three corresponding hierarchical levels of aggregation: per representative building, per vertical building level (foundations, basement, first storey, etc.), and per building part (floor, exterior walls, interior walls, etc.). Furthermore, they are distinguished between the building structure and complementary building components (windows and doors). The data can be used in academic, policy related, and practical investigations of the building stock, such as in evaluating the material consumption consequences of different spatial planning strategies on various levels or estimating the materials embedded in the built environment and their potential for capitalisation in the circular economy.
