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

Effects of biology teachers’ professional knowledge and cognitive activation on students’ achievement (2016, methodology): “Person ability is conceptualised as a latent variable (Boone & Scantlebury, 2006).”
Evaluating Instrument Quality in Science Education: Rasch‐based analyses of a Nature of Science test (2011, methodology): “Boone and Scantlebury ( 2006 ) used the analogy with a meter stick to illustrate the issue of scale equivalency.”
Measuring knowledge of natural selection: A comparison of the CINS, an open‐response instrument, and an oral interview (2008, methodology): “We used WINSTEPS software (Linacre, 2006) to perform the Rasch analysis, therein quantifying item difficulty, redundancy, and person-item relationships (Boone & Scantlebury, 2006).”
What Do Students Gain by Engaging in Socioscientific Inquiry? (2007, methodology): “This transformation could be accomplished through Rasch analysis ( Boone & Scantlebury, 2006 ), but the current sample is prohibitively small.”
