Chandra Publications

Tracking Scientific Productivity:

To evaluate the relative scientific effectiveness of Chandra observations, we have undertaken to compile and study data on related publications. Across institutions and even across disciplines, professional publications and citations represent the most commonly used and accepted method of tracking scientific productivity.

Basic Annual Bibliographic Statistics (as of 2008-02-26) :

The basic annual bibliographic statistical data for the Chandra X-ray Observatory pertain to papers on Chandra observations.

We plot here Refereed Chandra Science Papers by year of publication. Total Refereed Chandra Science Papers through 2007: 3151. Data for a given year cannot be considered complete until at least June of the following year, so the most recent year is represented as a hatched bar.
