One way of assessing the scope and depth of impact that social science research has is to look at the citations and other usage by colleagues. Given the various databases and internet search engines, it is quite easy to keep track of such things. The following data have been collected to the best of my knowledge by July 2023.

2. My work was quoted from in studies by the following institutions:
Advisory Council to the German Government on Global Environmental Issues
Bundestag
“Eine Untersuchung zu Hintergründen und Ursachen dieser erheblichen Unterschiede (FN 18, Goerres/Tepe 2013) kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die finanzielle Ausstattung und die politi-che Zusammensetzung in den Kommunen eine erhebliche Rolle bei der Festsetzung der Elternbeiträge spielen.” (Bundestag 2016, WD 9 – 3000 – 039/16: 6)
“Gegen die Herabsetzung des Wahlalters wird vorgebracht, dass Jugendliche nicht die nötige Reife besäßen, um eine verantwortungsvolle Wahlentscheidung treffen zu können. Der kognitive Entwicklungsprozess sei noch nicht abgeschlossen. Damit erwiesen sich junge Wähler als leichter
manipulierbar als andere Wählergruppen (FN 92, Goerres 2010 ZParl). […] Weiterhin könne eine Herabsetzung des Wahlalters auf 16 Jahre zu einer „Überrumpelung“ der neuen Erstwähler führen, da diese im Prozess des Heranwachsens nicht in ausreichendem Maße auf die erste Wahl vorbereitet werden könnten. [FN 96, Goerres 2010 ZParl)
(Bundestag 2010: Wahlrecht ab 16 Jahren – Regelungen und Erfahrungen, WD 3 – 3000 – 135/10: 16)
“Das Modell des originären Kinderwahlrechts mit Abschaffung jeglicher Altersgrenze für die Aus-übung des Wahlrechts wird soweit ersichtlich in der rechtswissenschaftlichen Fachliteratur nicht ernsthaft diskutiert. Hintergrund hierfür dürften erhebliche praktische und rechtliche Bedenken sein. In praktischer Hinsicht wird gegen das Modell eingewandt, dass die Stimmen der wahlbe-rechtigten Kinder weitgehend verloren seien, da sie rein faktisch oftmals nicht in der Lage seien, die Stimme abzugeben.” FN 2, Goerres/Tiemann 2009; WD 3 – 3000 – 157/17
