Search strategy Inclusion step The strategy developed was based on constructing a separate search strategy for each component in the spectrum of the definition of international migrants. [...]a search query was developed for the following components: (1) migrant workers, (2) refugees/asylum seekers/displaced people (not internally displaced), (3) international students, (4) trafficked victims/victims of human smuggling, (5) patients' mobility across borders, and (6) international migrants/immigration. The absence of false positive results was confirmed by (1) testing the top 200 cited articled for the absence of false positive documents, and (2) testing all subject areas and journal names that had a minimum of two published documents. [...]in the worst-case scenario, the false positive results will not exceed 100 documents if we assume that that the remaining untested journals and subject areas included false positive results. (3) In ranking countries, the authors did not segregate documents based on the affiliation of the leading author. [...]the ranking is based on the overall contribution and not the number of documents in which the country of interest is being the leader of the research. [...]establishing research groups to investigate health conditions of female migrant workers and endorsing their human rights.
