Funnel plots for visualizing uncertainty in the research performance of institutions

作者：

Highlights：

• We compare research performance of Italian universities in biochemistry.

• We use the FSS research productivity indicator.

• We apply the funnel plot for measuring uncertainty.

• 80% of universities have a performance not significantly different from the mean.

• There are no instances of markedly outstanding performance.
