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

Children and young people's participation (2009, background): “Kirby and Gibbs (2006) criticise both Hart and Shier’s models on the basis that each participation initiative or task cannot be assigned a single level of participation when, in reality, levels of decision making power constantly shift within projects and within tasks.”
Children's Participation Rights in Research (2009, background): “The easier access to children raises significant ethical issues, however (Kellett et al., 2004; Morrow and Richards, 1996; Robinson and Kellett, 2004) despite it assisting researchers with recruitment.”
Working With Young Children as Co-Researchers: An Approach Informed by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (2011, background): “In an ideal children’s rights-based approach, the children would have been involved in the discussion before the questions were set (Lundy & McEvoy, in press-a; see also Kellett et al., 2004).”
Subjects, Objects or Participants? Dilemmas of Psychological Research with Children (2008, background): “Exceptions to the rule are increasing, but are mostly initiated by researchers in other areas of child research (e.g. Hill, 1997; Boyden and Ennew, 1997; Jones, 2004; Kellett et al 2004).”
