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

Structural analysis of B-cell epitopes in antibody:protein complexes (2012, background): “However, the results might have a high degree of uncertainty, due to the fact that most epitopes in the data used were linear epitopes obtained by B-cell assays, which do not explicitly determine the residues in contact with the antibody (for a review of methods see Van Regenmortel, (2009)).”
Fundamentals and Methods for T- and B-Cell Epitope Prediction (2017, methodology): “Most B-cell epitopes (approximately a 90%) are conformational and, in fact, only a minority of native antigens contains linear B-cell epitopes [3].”
