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

Multi-attribute sequential search (2007, background): “As Simon (1955) intuited, the penalty for satisficing rather than optimizing using continuousvariable attribute values may be quite small—as long as the satisficing is done optimally.”
Consumer Sequential Search: Not Enough or Too Much? (2003, methodology): “Based jointly on behavioral and self-report data,4 Seale and Rapoport (1997, 2000) found that three factors dominated subjects’ decisions to accept a candidate.”
The Traveling Salesman Goes Shopping: The Systematic Deviations of Grocery Paths from TSP-Optimality (2008, unknown): “Other papers with similar goals include, Houser et al. (2004), MacGregor et al. (1999, 2000), Polivova (1974), Seale and Rapoport (2000) and Vickers et al. (2001).”
Unpacking the Exploration–Exploitation Tradeoff: A Synthesis of Human and Animal Literatures (2015, background): “For example, Seale and Rapoport (2000) introduced variability into the length of search in the secretary problem, and Hutchinson et al. (2008) kept participants from knowing how long they would be performing patch leaving search.”
A multi-attribute extension of the secretary problem: Theory and experiments (2004, background): “In a subsequent paper, Seale and Rapoport (2000) relaxed assumption 1 of the CSP.”
