The Global Pathways project is a collaboration of scholars from the sociology of science, bibliometrics, and International Relations (IR) based in Germany, the United States, and Japan. The aim is to examine whether and how the social and topical structure of scientific communities affects the diffusion of knowledge within and among these communities in the field of IR.

Global Pathways is funded by the DFG and has been generously supported by the KFG. It is scheduled to run until 2019. For more information, please visit the project website.
