Scatter plot of the topic alignments of new hires and outgoers

Caption

Each dot is a research institution. The further right and up, the more closely new hires and departing researchers match the institution's research topics. The gray lines mark the median values. Colors show citation impact: gray dots are institutions below the global average, while orange, blue and yellow indicate increasingly high impact. Highly cited institutions cluster in the top right, with one notable exception: the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
