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

Exploring Social Capital Debates at the World Bank (2004, background): “It is also supported by other studies of the World Bank concluding that, under certain conditions, the combined efforts of external advocates and internal reformers have led to policy and practical change at the Bank [Fox and Brown, 1998].”
Statewide Implementation of Evidence-Based Programs (2013, background): “Combining the cost-benefits of evidence-based programs with the savings from system reinvention is an example of the “virtuous circles” described by Fox and Gershman (2000) and Putnam (1993) in other contexts where efficiencies are the product of a singular focus on effectiveness.”
Unpacking social capital in Economic Development: How social relations matter (2007, background): “It is precisely the view of social capital as an independent resource of individuals, firms and organizations, which has raised much critique on the World Bank approach to social capital (Harriss and de Renzio 1997; Fox 1997; Fine 1999, 2001; Fox and Gershman 2000; Harriss 2001).”
