Ukrainian institute of analysis and management summarized the monitoring of Ukrainian analytical and expert centers ( "think-tanks") in 2015 in the electronic media. During 4 months (September- December 2015) we have been analyzing the citation of more than 50 leading political centers of Ukraine.

The rating displays the average number of quotations,references to political centers in the past month and the total number of mentions during 4 months. Moreover, if the publication was published in several languages, the rating includes just one link in the language, the publication in which Google gives firstly (mostly in Russian), references to personal websites and blogs, forums and ads are not counted.

According to the results of 4 months of last year (September- December), the overall leader with the average number of references became the Centre for counteraction to corruption with 1255 citations - 314 times per month. Second place went to the Institute of Global Strategies- 1202 (301 / per month), the third - the "Democratic initiatives" Fund - 1199 (300), the fourth – the International Center for Advanced Study -947 (237), fifth - the Kiev Center for Political and Conflict Studies -920 (230).

Also the top ten most mentioned organizations and think tanks included – the Ukrainian Institute of Management Analysis and Policy (217 / month), the Center for Applied Political Studies "Penta" (171 / month), the International security Razumkov Center (125 / month), the Institute of Euro-Atlantic Cooperation (121 / month) and the Situations Modeling Agency (113 / month).

 
The rating reflects the number of references of such analitical centers , videos including their members available on the network, recordings of their performances on the radio stations web-sites. Every result has been developed by calculating the results of the request to the Google (with “for a month” restriction, a browser Google Chrome). The results containing a tag with a name of center without direct mentioning of the institute or his quotation were not taken into account.
