As a single supporting story, when I wrote my masters thesis, I ended up in a specific project space I didn’t have as much experience in and needed to do more reading than I had budgeted in my completion schedule. I hate to say it, but part of my filtering for interesting papers to learn from did lean on reference counts and where the papers came from.
