Number of refereed publications
Count of refereed publications using data from NOIRLab telescopes. The individual telescopes are represented with bars. The red line shows the total number of publications. Note that the sum of the bars is larger than the total sum as many science papers use more than one facility. The sum total corrects for this overlap and does not double-count for publications using more than one telescope. Metrics here are reported for the calendar year rather than fiscal year.
The decrease from 2022 to 2023 is mainly due to a decrease in publications based on Blanco and CSDC data. This can largely be attributed to the completion of both the Dark Energy Survey (DES), conducted with Blanco, and the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys, serviced by CSDC’s Astro Data Lab. A significant increase in papers coincided with the completion of the surveys, and while the numbers slightly decreased last year, follow-up surveys are now underway.
The NOIRLab publications metrics dynamic dashboard directly accesses the NOIRLab public library in the ADS (Astrophysics Data System) to compile publication metrics. Users can view total telescope data publication counts, counts by NOIRLab Program and facility, and staff publication counts, arranged by year. By clicking on a telescope logo/image in the top bar of the dashboard, users can access the NOIRLab public library listing papers using data from that telescope. The Dashboard was created by Bill McGinn and Sharon Hunt
