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

A Spherical Metric for the Field-Oriented Analysis of Complex Urban Open Spaces (2003, methodology): “Though some authors claim that their methods can be applied to three-dimensional spatial configurations (Turner et al, 2001) such extensions are usually neither developed nor tested.”
The Mathematics of Spatial Configuration: Revisiting, Revising and Critiquing Justified Plan Graph Theory (2011, background): “Regardless of whether researchers are interested in plan configuration, axial mapping or visual link identification, this is a necessary transition between the architectural or urban plan and the production of a graph [Turner et al. 2001].”
Depthmap: a program to perform visibility graph analysis (2001, methodology): “This type of analysis was recently rediscovered by Turner et al. (Turner and Penn, 1999; Turner et al., 2001), through considering recent developments in Space Syntax of various isovist approaches (see Hanson, 1998, for further background).”
Network and Psychological Effects in Urban Movement (2005, background): “2001[23]) shows an emergent warm colour pattern which looks a bit like a main street, with side streets and back streets, although of a rather a irregular kind.”
Encoding Natural Movement as an Agent-Based System: An Investigation into Human Pedestrian Behaviour in the Built Environment (2002, background): “Actually, the agent sees the possibility to walk up to an object, walk around it, and through it, and so it .”
