You are trying to identify pivotal research articles from your well-filtered Google Scholar search. Describe how you would determine from the relevant list articles that should be prioritized as pivotal.
What will be an ideal response?

Assuming the Google search had filters that refined and organized the plethora of articles related to your primary research topic and key variables of interest, a first step to pivotal status is the number of other articles that have cited the article of consideration. A good method to rank your top article choices is to use the SSCI application that provides list of articles that have cited the key article.
