The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Syntactic alignment and shared word order in code-switched sentence production: Evidence from bilingual monologue and dialogue (2010, background): “most subordinate clauses (Koster, 1975).”
Early bilingualism, language transfer, and phonological awareness (2007, methodology): “For Turkish, the selection of morphosyntactic devices was based on Lewis (1986) for Dutch, the selection was based on Koster (1975).”
Syntactic and phonological processing in developmental dyslexia (2004, background): “Dutch is generally viewed as a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) language (Koster, 1975, but see Zwart (1993) for an alternative approach) with the verb in final position in a subordinate clause (see example 1a) and with verb-second in a matrix clause (see sentence 1b).”
Object Attraction in Subject-Verb Agreement Construction (2001, background): “The word order subject‐object‐verb is not only the canonical word order (Bennis & Hoekstra, 1989; Koster, 1974 ) but is also the only possible word order in Dutch subordinate clauses.”
