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

Citations in Economics: Measurement, Uses and Impacts (2018, background): “…to research in the natural sciences (see, e.g., Trajtenberg 1990); the sparse literature using citation analysis to understand the life cycle of scientists’ productivity (see, e.g., Levin and Stephan 1991); nor the still sparser research program on the economics of legal institutions (Posner 2000).”
The Measurement of Intellectual Influence (2004, background): “It is growing mainly because it enables, at a relatively low cost, a first attempt at rigorously quantifying elusive but important socioeconomic phenomena such as reputation, influence, the quality of scholarly output, the productivity of scholars and academic departments, and others.”
