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

Increasing clarity where it is needed most: articulating and evaluating theoretical contributions (2017, background): “For authors who wish to improve how clearly they articulate the nature of their theoretical pursuits, we are providing an updated and refined version of the list Slater and Gleason (2012) compiled of different theoretical pursuits that communication scientists commonly employ (see Table 1).”
The social media political participation model: A goal systems theory perspective (2020, methodology): “We develop a model containing 28 theoretical propositions that explain how and when SMU results in increased PP. Explaining the ‘how’ and ‘when’ is the primary role of theory (Slater and Gleason, 2012).”
The Health Belief Model as an Explanatory Framework in Communication Research: Exploring Parallel, Serial, and Moderated Mediation (2014, background): “Communication researchers are primarily interested in explicating communication processes, an objective that favors explanatory frameworks (Slater & Gleason, 2012).”
