Abstract

This article discusses the ranking results by Keil and Huber (2004) and re‐examines the publication activity of research institutes in the German‐speaking area for the period 1989–2003. Placing special emphasis on the national visibility of the output measured by means of bibliometric methods as well as on a stringent selection of institutes, we fail to replicate and cast some doubt on the findings of the preceding study.
