This paper investigates the relationships between scientists' international mobility and their academic disruptiveness, by using data collected from the ORCID website and the Web of Science database (2008‐2017). Specifically, our observations contain 1,388 scholars who joined “brain gain” and “brain drain” and moved to China in the past decades. Results illustrate that scientists' disruptiveness significantly increased after they moved to China.
