作者：
Highlights：
• We apply the funnel plot display for measuring uncertainty in research performance.
• We compare research performance of Italian universities in the science disciplines.
• We use the FSS research productivity indicator.
• Most universities have a performance not significantly different from the mean.
• There are only few instances of markedly outstanding performance.
