Short-term scholar visas are essential for science	2020-10-16		.txt	text/plain	894	49	49	The recent (June 22nd) presidential proclamation suspending short-term work visas, including the H-1B and certain categories of J-1 programs [1] , has created significant distress among the community of visiting scholars in the USA. There are legitimate issues regarding the exploitation of short-term work visas and their recipients that should be addressed specifically, and while J-1 research scholars (the category encompassing most US postdoctoral researchers) are currently exempt from the proclamation, many scientists will still be affected. (3) There is empirical evidence that the impact of research by foreign-born scientists is on average higher than that of locals who have no international mobility experience, even when accounting for differences in relative career positions in their countries of origin [3] . (5) The proclamation causes unnecessary distress not only for the visiting scholar community but also for their American colleagues and group leaders who rely on their work for the continuation of their research, which is only exacerbated by the current disruption imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-316430-idjkqcee.txt	./txt/cord-316430-idjkqcee.txt
