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

Data quality, performance, and uncertainty in taxonomic identification for biological assessments (2008, background): “Chessman et al. (2007) reported very low error rates (mean PTD ¼ 4.2, mean PDE ¼ 0.05) but did not specify an MQO or other acceptability criteria.”
Downstream effects of mountaintop coal mining: comparing biological conditions using family- and genus-level macroinvertebrate bioassessment tools (2008, background): “…data (Guerold 2000, Hawkins et al. 2000, Lenat and Resh 2001, Arscott et al. 2006), but family-level assessments are also useful (Bowman and Bailey 1998, Bailey et al. 2001, Pond and McMurray 2002, Chessman et al. 2007), and the choice of which to use depends on the objectives of the assessments.”
