Who We Are
ThinkTanksMonitor is an independent monitoring platform dedicated to tracking and republishing policy analysis from the world’s leading think tanks, research institutions, and policy centers. We serve as a centralized hub for expert perspectives on critical international issues.
Founded in 2022, our platform emerged from the recognition that valuable policy analysis often remains confined to specialized audiences. By aggregating and presenting this expertise in accessible formats, we bridge the gap between expert analysis and public discourse.

Our Principles
Neutrality We do not take editorial positions on the issues we cover. Our role is to present expert analysis, not to advocate for specific policies or outcomes.
Attribution We maintain rigorous standards for crediting original authors and publications. Every republished piece links directly to the source and identifies the author.
Accuracy We verify factual claims through independent research and link to primary sources whenever possible. Errors are corrected promptly when identified.
Diversity We seek to represent multiple perspectives on complex issues by monitoring think tanks across the political and geographic spectrum.
Transparency We are clear about our selection criteria, our republication process, and our funding model. We have no hidden agendas or undisclosed affiliations.
