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

The value and challenges of participatory research: strengthening its practice. (2008, background): “Third, although partnerships tend to engage representatives from a wide range of constituencies, the absence of common terminology hinders identification of who should be involved to maximize collaborative advantage in relation to the study purpose and values (69) (see Figure 1).”
Emerging theories in health promotion practice and research (2002, background): “Evaluators are beginning to argue for more research focusing on what coalitions contribute to community-based interventions above and beyond more traditional approaches (Lasker et al., 2001; Berkowitz, 2001; Butterfoss, Cashman, Foster-Fishman, & Kegler, 2001).”
Assessing network-based collaborations (2008, background): “…‘enablers’ that increase the potential for success, such as enhancing the knowledge management capacities, relationship skills and social capital of participants (e.g. Selin et al. 2000; Lasker et al. 2001; Lasker and Weiss 2003; Schusler et al. 2003; Halliday et al. 2004; Geddes et al. 2007).”
A realist evaluation of community-based participatory research: partnership synergy, trust building and related ripple effects (2015, methodology): “Partnership synergy theory holds that the fair and equitable combining of skills and resources of multiple stakeholders increases the facility of research processes and achievability of results, especially over the course of time [30].”
