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

Operant variability and voluntary action. (2010, background): “But recent research questions whether consciousness is necessary for (or indeed involved in) the generation of at least some voluntary acts (e.g., Bargh, 2005; Libet, 1985; Wegner, 2002, 2005).”
The Phenomenology of Joint Action: Self-Agency vs. Joint-Agency (2012, background): “…control is not perfect, and experiences of illusionary control can still arise, as shown by Wegner and colleagues (Aarts, Custers, & Wegner, 2005; Wegner, 2002, 2005; Wegner, Sparrow, & Winerman, 2004; Wegner & Wheatley, 1999), but on the whole accurate predictions tend to be reliable indicators…”
The Illusion of Conscious Will (2018, background): “Such “controlled” processes may be less efficient than automatic processes and require more cognitive resources, but even if they occur along with an experience of control or conscious will, this experience is not a direct indication of their real causal influence (Wegner 2006).”
Honesty: One Effect of Primed Religious Representations (2007, background): “We like to believe that we do the things we do because we consciously decide to do them (Wegner, 2005).”
