Think tank awards, rankings and ratings

Over the years On Think Tanks as explored, supported and criticised initiatives to recognise the work of think tanks. We produced and support the Premio PODER to think tanks in Peru, which is based on the Prospect Magazine think tank awards in the UK. We have supported and promoted Transparify, which rates the level of transparency of think tanks. And we have criticised efforts to rank think tanks. This series offers a collection of articles on the subject.
