Den vitkindade gåsen är en mycket välstuderad art. Omfattande forskning har bedrivits på Svalbard, i arktiska Ryssland, på Gotland samt i övervintringsområdena i Nederländerna och Storbritannien. En stor mängd vetenskapliga och populärvetenskapliga artiklar har publicerats. Nedan anges ett urval vetenskapliga böcker och artiklar.
