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

Cosmic Ray Induced Ion Production in the Atmosphere (2008, background): “Mars does not have an internal magnetic field any more, and even the high crustal field on some region of Mars is not high enough to deflect significantly cosmic rays (Acuňa et al. 2001; Dartnell et al. 2007).”
Bow Shock and Upstream Phenomena at Mars (2004, methodology): “5 nT equatorial field (Acuña et al., 2001).”
The MAVEN Magnetic Field Investigation (2015, methodology): “MAVEN took the latter 314 approach, much as its predecessor Mars Global Surveyor did [Acuña et al., 2001].”
Electron pitch angle distributions as indicators of magnetic field topology near Mars (2007, unknown): “Crustal fields measuring more than 50 nT at 400 km altitudes are concentrated in one region of the southern hemisphere [Acuña et al., 2001], and are detectable to altitudes of 1300 km or more [Mitchell et al., 2001a; Brain et al., 2003].”
A review of observed variability in the dayside ionosphere of Mars (2009, methodology): “The study of the martian plasma environment above the exobase is currently thriving due to extensive measurements by the Mars Express ASPERA, MGS magnetometer and MGS Electron Reflectometer instruments (Acuña et al., 2001; Mitchell et al., 2001; Barabash et al., 2006).”
