Also, the table shows the number of network clusters in which the institutions of a Cluster of Excellence are represented and how the ratio of institutions per network cluster looks
aThe average of the ratios of institutions per network cluster is calculated as a harmonic mean
bAlthough the MPI for Evolutionary Biology has published highly cited papers, this was not in cooperation with another institution in the network, so it is not included in the analysis
