This paper presents the final results of a study on the activities of the scientific diaspora of the Pushchino Scientific Center (PSC RAS) abroad, which began in 2016. The information on the scientific careers of scientists from nine scientific research institutes of the PSC RAS who emigrated abroad for permanent residence is given: the proportion of former scientific researchers who continue to engage in scientific activities, the geography of the distribution of representatives of the diaspora; scientific organizations, where and how successfully they work. The research was conducted using scientometric, bibliometric, bibliographic, factual, and sociological methods. The professional “success” of representatives of the diaspora was assessed according to formal indicators: a Hirsch index (h-index) with a threshold value of 17 and higher; information about publications in the Essential Science Indicators (Clarivate Analytics) at the time of data collection; and distribution of published works by quartiles of publications.
