Brookings states that its staff "represent diverse points of view" and describes itself as non-partisan,[1][15] and the media sometimes describes Brookings as either "conservative",[16] "centrist"[17] or "liberal."[18] An academic analysis of Congressional records from 1993 to 2002 found that Brookings was referenced by conservative politicians almost as frequently as liberal politicians, earning a score of 53 on a 1–100 scale with 100 representing the most liberal score.[19] The same study found Brookings to be the most frequently cited think tank by the US media and politicians.[19]
