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

Imagining the mathematician: young people talking about popular representations of maths (2010, background): “Family members emerged as an important influence in our research (see also Wang, 2004 ).”
A Multilevel Modelling Approach to Investigating Factors Impacting Science Achievement for Secondary School Students: PISA Hong Kong Sample (2012, unknown): “…Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), which revealed that while students from Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China, and Taiwan perform consistently higher than students from the USA, no significant differences were found in curriculum, aptitude, or expenditure per student (Wang, 2001, 2004).”
Modeling students' time management in math homework (2014, background): “…have more positive attitudes toward homework and spend more time on homework (Cai, 2003; Chen & Stevenson, 1989; Hong, Wan, & Peng, 2011), and as they often outperform U.S. peers in math and excel in many international assessments of math achievement (Stevenson & Stigler, 1992; Wang, 2004).”
