Think Tank Search is a custom Google search of more than 450 think tank websites. For the purposes of this search, think tanks are defined as institutions affiliated with universities, governments, advocacy groups, foundations, non-governmental organizations, and businesses that generate public policy research, analysis, and activity. Inclusion is based upon the availability of the think tank’s research in full-text on the website, and the think tank’s reputation and influence upon policy making. The list of included Think Tanks represents a mixture of partisan and non-partisan think tanks.
