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

Explanation in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Social Sciences (2017, background): “Popper [145] is perhaps the most influential proponent of abductive reasoning in the scientific process.”
Exploratory Not Explanatory: Counterfactual Analysis of Saliency Maps for Deep Reinforcement Learning (2019, background): “One hallmark of a scientific hypothesis or claim is falsifiability (Popper, 1959).”
Why Attention is Not Explanation: Surgical Intervention and Causal Reasoning about Neural Models (2020, background): “• Deductive-Nomological Theories (Hempel and Oppenheim, 1948; Braithwaite, 1953; Popper, 1959; Hempel, 1967; Railton, 1978), one of the oldest logical theories of explanation, hold that explanations are deductive syllogisms.”
Psychological states underlying excellent performance in professional golfers: "Letting it happen" vs. "making it happen" (2016, unknown): “These findings require testing and 4 dedicated attempts at ‘falsification’ (Popper, 1959).”
On the Length of Programs for Computing Finite Binary Sequences (1966, unknown): “Popper [8] criticized this definition.”
Distance geometry and data science (2019, result): “Any false prediction, however, disproves the hypothesis [154].”
