目的--本文介绍的网络应用程序允许使用出版和引文数据进行分析，以揭示世界各地不同领域的卓越中心。只考虑机构业绩的具体方面，而不考虑其他方面，如教学业绩或研究的社会影响。本白皮书的目的是解决这些问题。设计/方法/方法--基于从Scope收集的数据，可以在经常发表高被引用论文的机构中确定特定领域的优秀论文。查找-网络应用程序(www.egerencemapping.net)将按不同指标值排序的机构列表和带有圆圈的地图结合在一起，显示地理编码机构的指标值。原创性/价值-与迄今介绍的映射和排名方法相比，我们的基本统计数据(多层次模型)是面向分析的，允许估计机构的优秀论文数量的值，这些值在统计上比观测值更合适；计算可信区间以衡量机构引文影响的准确性；比较某一学科领域的单一机构与“平均”机构；以及至少两个机构的直接比较。
Purpose - The web application presented in this paper allows for an analysis to reveal centres of excellence in different fields worldwide using publication and citation data. Only specific aspects of institutional performance are taken into account and other aspects such as teaching performance or societal impact of research are not considered. The purpose of this paper is to address these issues.Design/methodology/approach - Based on data gathered from Scopus, field-specific excellence can be identified in institutions where highly-cited papers have been frequently published.Findings - The web application (www.excellencemapping.net) combines both a list of institutions ordered by different indicator values and a map with circles visualising indicator values for geocoded institutions.Originality/value - Compared to the mapping and ranking approaches introduced hitherto, our underlying statistics (multi-level models) are analytically oriented by allowing the estimation of values for the number of excellent papers for an institution which are statistically more appropriate than the observed values; the calculation of confidence intervals as measures of accuracy for the institutional citation impact; the comparison of a single institution with an "average" institution in a subject area: and the direct comparison of at least two institutions.
