Targeted Sampling: Options for the Study of Hidden Populations1989 · 1.3k citations
What are hit papers?
Hit papers significantly outperform the citation benchmark for their cohort. A paper qualifies
if any of the following hold:
it has ≥500 total citations;
it reaches ≥1.5× the top-1% citation threshold for papers in the same subfield and year (the
threshold is the minimum needed to enter the top 1%, not the average within it);
it reaches the top citation threshold in at least one of its specific research topics.
Countries citing papers authored by Patrick Biernacki
Since Specialization
Citations
This map shows the geographic impact of Patrick Biernacki's research. It shows the number of citations coming from papers published by authors working in each country. You can also color the map by specialization and compare the number of citations received by Patrick Biernacki with the expected number of citations based on a country's size and research output (numbers larger than one mean the country cites Patrick Biernacki more than expected).
Fields of papers citing papers by Patrick Biernacki
This network shows the impact of papers produced by Patrick Biernacki. Nodes represent research fields, and links connect fields that are likely to share authors. Colored nodes show fields that tend to cite the papers produced by Patrick Biernacki. The network helps show where Patrick Biernacki may publish in the future.

Snowball Sampling: Problems and Techniques of Chain Referral Sampling
Rankless uses publication and citation data sourced from OpenAlex, an open and comprehensive
bibliographic database. While OpenAlex provides broad and valuable coverage of the global
research landscape, it—like all bibliographic datasets—has inherent limitations. These include
incomplete records, variations in author disambiguation, differences in journal indexing, and
delays in data updates. As a result, some metrics and network relationships displayed in
Rankless may not fully capture the entirety of a scholar's output or impact.
