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

Elaboration and numerical anchoring: Implications of attitude theories for consumer judgment and decision making (2010, background): “Thus, it seems quite reasonable for elaboration to occur when thinking about a target after receiving a numerical anchor (cf., Mussweiler & Strack, 2001b).”
Perspective taking as egocentric anchoring and adjustment. (2004, background): “Because adjustments tend to stop as participants reach the edge of their range of plausible values, they tend to be insufficient ( Mussweiler & Strack, 2001; Quattrone, 1982).”
Subliminal anchoring: Judgmental consequences and underlying mechanisms (2005, background): “Furthermore, previous work on explicitly provided anchors has demonstrated that judges do indeed use accessible target knowledge as a basis for their target estimates (for an overview, see Mussweiler & Strack, 2001a).”
Comparison processes in social judgment: mechanisms and consequences. (2003, background): “This leads to the observed assimilation effect (for an elaborate discussion, see Mussweiler & Strack, 2001).”
