The median number of citations received by hierarchical modeling papers within our database is 8 (IQR = 2-17). As expected, the number of citations is negatively correlated with the year of publication (rho = -0.76, p < 0.001). Yet, several published papers are more frequently cited compared to articles published in the same period (Figure \ref{522886}). The most cited paper in our database is \citealp{MacKenzie_2002} with 3047 citations, followed by \citealp{MacKenzie_2003} with 1184 citations, \citealp{Tyre_2003} with 539 citations, \citealp{Royle_2007} with 303 citations in Web of Science at the end of 2022, and \citealp{Woodcock_2016} with 269 citations. Other papers with more than 200 citations are \citealp{Nichols_2008}\citealp{Dail_2010}\citealp{van_Strien_2013} and \citealp{Zipkin_2009}.
