Abstract

Following the first TIS Report that presented the evolution of the TIS list, this paper shows how the same list can define the top research Institutes in Italy. The analysis has been conducted by members of the Via-academy who have formed the ‘Valutator’ committee and was originally aimed to define the 'Top 50' Institutes. However, by 21 April 2011 it has been decided to extend the analysis to all the institutes for which at least one TIS has been found. Moreover, the demand for a more normalized analysis has led to the development of a list based on the density of TIS with respect to the number of personnel (research or academically active) of each institute. This set of data is now made available online while the article is being finalized, considering also the inputs and suggestions raised by persons interested in this paper. An update at the end of May 2011 allows a more comprehensive appreciation of the relative ranking of top Italian Universities.

Why is it important?

It presents the most updated ranking of most research Institutes in Italy

Table 1 - The Top 50 research Institutes in Italy.
The Institutes are ranked according to the Sum of H-index of their affiliated TIS.
Those fundamentally private or independent are highlighted in yellow.
Please note, this table is updated in real-time, based on the TIS database.
