The London-based newspaper, The Sunday Times, carried out an undercover investigation of Stephen Payne, a lobbyist and member of the U.S. Homeland Security Advisory Council. Caught on video, which the newspaper published online, Payne offered to arrange meetings with high-level Bush administration officials for a former Kyrgyzstan president in exchange for $750,000. Approximately $250,000 of Payne's fee would go to the future George W. Bush Presidential Library as a donation. The rest of the money would go to Payne's consulting firm, Worldwide Strategic Partners. [1]

In 2001, the American Journal of Kidney Diseases published an article that touted the use of synthetic vitamin D. Its author was listed as Alex J. Brown, an associate professor at Washington University in St. Louis.
But recently, that same article was featured as a work sample by a different person: Michael Anello, a free-lance medical writer, who posted a summary of it on his Web site. Mr. Anello says he was hired to write the article by a communications firm working for Abbott Laboratories, which makes a version of the vitamin D product. Dr. Brown agrees he got help in writing but says he redid part of the draft.[6]
In the case of the vitamin D article, Dr. Brown says Abbott asked him to write it but he didn't have time. He had written an earlier article on the subject. "They said they would have one of their people write it, update my old review article and I would check it," he recalls. Mr. Anello, a Milwaukee writer who studied biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin, says he wrote the new article. "I've done a lot of ghostwriting jobs," he says, adding that sometimes he works closely with the named authors.
Dr. Brown says he had to rewrite "at least 30 percent to 40 percent" of Mr. Anello's draft. In retrospect, he says, he probably should have asked Abbott who Mr. Anello was and "if that person should be acknowledged." Abbott said the article's content was "under the complete discretion" of Dr. Brown and didn't discuss details. The journal's managing editor declined to comment because the journal is under new management.
Following questions from The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Anello removed the article summary from his Web site. Until recently, his online bibliography listed other scientific publications he has written under others' bylines that have yet to be published. The byline on one was "author to be named."[7]

Page 4 of 6 Top Think Tanks for Innovative Ideas

  • 1. Cato Institute Cato’s libertarian stance, once viewed as fringe, is now considered respectable. With its anti-incumbent, anti-Washington attitude, Cato has antagonized liberals with its push to privatize Social Security, as well as conservatives with its vigorous opposition to the Iraq war.
  • 2. Brookings Institution From heathcare reform to recommendations on closing the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Brookings has a breadth of expertise that allows it to offer innovative fixes for nearly every critical issue facing the United States today.
  • 3. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Carnegie’s role in opposing the invasion of Iraq and providing critical research on issues such as Iran’s and North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs places it at the heart of some of Washington’s defining policy debates.

Best New Think Tanks (of the last 5 years)

  • 1. European Council on Foreign Relations Populated by European heavyweights like Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari and former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, the ECFR aims to craft a common foreign policy for an increasingly integrated Europe.
  • 2. Bruegel Funded by EU member states and located in Brussels, Bruegel specializes in driving European economic growth and making the continent more competitive in the global economy.
  • 3. Center for American Progress Thanks to its all-star roster of experts and savvy use of new media, CAP has emerged as the intellectual center of Democratic D.C.

Most Impact on Public Policy Debates

  • 1. Brookings Institution When important debates occur in Washington—whether over Middle East peace, global finance, or urban strategy—it’s a fair bet that Brookings is driving the conversation.
  • 2. Heritage Foundation A partisan approach, obsession with the latest policy issues, an effective marketing strategy, and proximity to the seat of power (it is steps away from the U.S. Congress) give Heritage an influential edge.

The Think Tank Index Methodology


Prior to launching the Think Tank Index, extensive research was conducted to develop a comprehensive list of all think tanks in the world. Relying on previous studies, think tank directories and databases, and experts in the field, 5,465 institutions worldwide were identified for inclusion in the study.

To create a more manageable list from which to identify leading think tanks, an international group of scholars, think tank executives, public and private donors, and policymakers were then asked to nominate think tanks they consider to be the best in the world. These experts used selection criteria such as a think tank's ability to retain elite scholars and analysts; access to elites in policymaking, media, and academia; media reputation; reputation with policymakers; scholarly output; and usefulness of the organization's information, among others. This effort resulted in a list of approximately 400 think tanks worldwide that were then included in the Think Tank Impact Survey.

The Think Tank Impact Survey was then sent to hundreds of think tank scholars, think tank executives, and government and NGO personnel who fund think tanks. More than 150 responses from this panel of experts were received. These respondents ranked the list of think tanks by region and research area, the results of which are seen here.

Organisations

  • The Social Affairs Unit is a longstanding rightwing think tank which published the Henry Jackson Society manifesto and has also produced scaremongering and evidentially flawed reports on British Islam.
  • Hollinger International A Canadian media company formerly owned by Conrad Black, who appointed Richard Perle as one of its directors. One of Hollinger’s UK publications, the Daily Telegraph, was successfully sued by MP George Galloway after it published documents purportedly uncovered in Baghdad concerning his relationship to the Iraqi regime.
  • The Jean-Jacques Rousseau Institute Paris-based 'organization for pro-West political action in Europe.' Executive Chairman Michel Gurfinkiel is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, Commentary, the Weekly Standard and the Jerusalem Post.
  • Aspen Institute Berlin German arm of the neo-conservative think-tank. From 2001 to 2007, the Institute was headed by Dr Jeffrey Gedmin, the former Executive Director of the AEI's New Atlantic Initiative. In January 2007, the Institute sponsored a London lecture by former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu entitled 'The Legal Case against Iran's President.
  • Fondazione Magna Carta (Magna Carta Foundation) Italian think-tank with close links to the American Enterprise Institute. The two foundations co-sponsored a conference in Rome in June 2007 to coincide with George Bush's visit to Italy. Prominent neo-cons in attendance included John Bolton, Gary Schmitt, [[Reuel Marc Gerecht] and Jeffrey Gedmin.
  • Policy Exchange An influential British think-tank employing Dean Godson, former Telegraph leader writer, special assistant to Conrad Black, and brother of Roy Godson. Policy Exchange successfully campaigned for the British Government to downgrade contacts with the Muslim Council of Britain, notably in the pamphlet When Progressives Treat with Reactionaries by journalist Martin Bright. It has since been accused by the BBC of employing fabricated evidence to link British mosques with extremism.
  • Centre for Social Cohesion Think-tank founded by Civitas in 2007, with prominent British neo-conservative Douglas Murray as director. The Centre has maintained a persistent and hostile focus on British Islam.
  • Euston Manifesto Group Coalition of writers and bloggers dedicated to advancing neo-conservative ideas on the British left. Membership overlaps with a number of other neo-conservative and Zionist groups, notably the online journal Democratiya and the Pro-Israel lobby group Engage.
