Think Tank Indexing process. All of the top ranked think tanks from 2017 were automatically included in the 2018 ranking ballot. These think tanks excel in research, analysis, and public engagement on a wide range of policy issues with the aim of advancing debate, facilitating cooperation between relevant actors, maintaining public support and funding, and improving the overall quality of life in one of the relevant countries.'
