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.
