Answer the questions:

# What are the 5 top Universities in this field?
#*Correlate them with their main outputs (Data. Narratives. Tools)
#*Understand and identify cases where these universities are “experimenting” or “adopting” commons based approach. Are they adopting OA policies, for instance? Are they adopting Social Responsible License approaches?
#*Identify these cases and treat them as entities that will also be placed in our mapping device (the quadrants)
#* Identify what universities are the “Microsofts” of the field and what companies are the “IBMs” of the field (Use the questionnaire to guide your research when appropriate - Carol will select specific relevant questions)
