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

Use of content analysis to conduct knowledge-building and theory-generating qualitative systematic reviews (2014, background): “Based on a process of constant iterative reflection, it is difficult to ignore personal biases and contradictory evidence, and researchers are driven toward the synthesis of evidence-based concepts and propositions (Birks et al., 2008; Jasper, 2005; Mruck and Mey, 2007).”
Critical Approach to Reflexivity in Grounded Theory (2014, methodology): “Considering the relative recentness with which reflexivity has been described explicitly in the context of grounded theory (Mruck & Mey, 2007), the available guidance for how it might be approached critically within this research method is still in the early stages.”
A reflexive exploration of two qualitative data coding techniques (2015, background): “Mruck and Mey (2007) highlight the tension that can be felt between GTM and reflexivity and propose that not all grounded theory methodologies allow the researcher to embrace their situatedness.”
Definitions of school bullying in Taiwan: A comparison of multiple perspectives (2011, background): “Reflexivity helps to ensure rigor and quality of research (Mruck & Mey, 2007).”
