• Multi-attributed environmental index construction (2006, methodology): “Indices are used to summarise a multitude of indicators thereby providing decision makers with an integrated and more informative overview than would otherwise be attainable (Hammond et al., 1995; Niemeijer, 2002 ).”
• Strengths and weaknesses of common sustainability indices for multidimensional systems. (2008, background): “If all indicators are weighted equally, but there are many more indicators for one subject (such as environmental conditions), the more prevalent subject is given more influence over the final index values (Sands and Podmore, 2000; Niemeijer, 2002; Parris and Kates, 2003; Jesinghaus, 2000; Olalla-Tá”
• Developing Credible Vulnerability Indicators for Climate Adaptation Policy Assessment (2007, methodology): “The third step in a theory-driven indicator study involves selecting the best possible indicators for these processes and assigning values and weights (Niemeijer 2002).”
• Advancing Marine Biological Observations and Data Requirements of the Complementary Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) Frameworks (2018, background): “The scientific community has a responsibility to provide the information and knowledge needed to enable wise policy decisions, which can be achieved by assembling measurements of particular variables into indicators (Niemeijer, 2002) useful to governments and users of resources, for instance.”
• A conceptual framework for selecting environmental indicator sets (2008, unknown): “In an earlier paper (Niemeijer, 2002), data-driven and theory-driven approaches to the development of environmental indicator sets were examined.”
