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

Preparation and application of chitosan nanoparticles and nanofibers (2011, background): “(2006) also optimized the viscosity of chitosan solutions (Baumgarten, 1971; Fridrikh et al., 2003) in order to decrease the average fiber diameter.”
Pd-doped TiO2 nanofiber networks for gas sensor applications (2010, background): “The randomness is due to the instability of the electrospinning jet [11].”
Nanofibers and their applications in tissue engineering (2006, background): “The systemic and process parameters vary with different polymeric systems and in most cases lend themselves to modification, thereby enabling tailoring of nanofibers for specific end uses (Shin et al 2001b; Zong et al 2002; Fridrikh et al 2003; Katti et al 2004).”
Electrospinning of polymer melts: Phenomenological observations (2007, background): “The low flow rates required for melt electrospinning (0.02e0.05 mL/h) are the disadvantage for industrial applications, but are required since greater charges exist in polymeric liquids with lower flow rates [ 27 ].”
Free surface electrospinning from a wire electrode (2012, methodology): “Subsequently, Fridrikh et al [40] and Helgeson et al [41] developed relations to correlate the “terminal” jet diameter and the experimentally observed jet diameter, respectively, with fluid and operating parameters of the electrospinning jet.”
