The original version of Flint, Clegg, and Macdonald (2006) cites MacFarlane as being published in 2004 versus 2003. As no document is listed with the same author, title, and publication details in the stated year, I have used the corrected year of 2003. This does not equate with APA Style, but arguably supports academic integrity.
The ideas of "transfer" and "recipient" populations suggest a homogeneity, which is problematic. Although the source group, the American Psychological Association, may be constructed homogenously at the meso-level, the construction of the transfer and recipient populations as homogenous is illogical. Amongst the transfer groups, for instance, will be members of the American Psychological Association and recipient states, as well as a multitude of identities, fractured or otherwise. Perhaps a better method would be to identify a self-named group within the academic community to which the knowledge flow is directed.
