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

Understanding Polarization: Meanings, Measures, and Model Evaluation (2017, methodology): “Models in a Structural Balance tradition constitute a third family (Heider 1946; Cartwright and Harary 1956; Harary 1959; Macy et al. 2003; Klemm et al. 2005; Kitts 2006).”
Consensus efficiency in group decision making: A comprehensive comparative study and its optimal design (2019, background): “Moreover, Harary (1959), Groot (1974), and French (1981) extended consensus theory into a more general framework utilizing the Markov chain process.”
Computing global structural balance in large-scale signed social networks (2011, background): “The most plausible distance is given by the least number of edges that must be dropped (or changed of sign) in order for the graph to become exactly balanced (16, 20, 21).”
A review of soft consensus models in a fuzzy environment (2014, background): “The ﬁrst, traditional, is the one started by Coch and French [24], French [25] and Harary [26] in which the process is modeled by using matrix calculus or Markov chains to model the time evolution of changes of opinions toward consensus.”
