This article argues that scientific mobility has, as a part of its function, enhanced scientific expansion and the formation of gravity centers in science. Through the mobility of scientists, scientific traditions that are embodied in certain schools or departments expand to embrace other spatial sites of science and include them in their social spaces. The article uses geographical discourse to presume a relationship between mobility, scientific expansion, and scientific change. In doing so, it seeks to improve our understanding of the contribution of scientific mobility to the formation of scientific legitimacy and institutional credibility.
