Ranking institutions within a discipline: The steep mountain of academic excellence

作者：

Highlights：

• We introduce a novel method for ranking institutions within a research discipline.

• The Weighted Top Candidate method is a generalisation of an expert selection method.

• With a parameter, we can adjust how exclusive our list of expert should be.

• Key axiom of the method is stability: the selected institutions form a stable set.

• We present a case study in which we rank game theoretical institutions.
