AnnouncementRecord 1200 studies using ESO data published in 2024More than 1200 studies using data from ESO’s facilities were published last year, a record high. The ESO Library, Documentation, and Information Services Department has updated their detailed statistics on publications using ESO data presenting each facility's contributions in 2024 [1]. The 2024 publications statistics once again demonstrate the important legacy value of the ESO Science Archive Facility, with 42% of publications (510 papers) with ESO data partly or exclusively using archival data. Even data from instruments that were decommissioned years ago still actively contributes to the pool of data papers. More InformationThe statistics presented here are derived from the ESO Telescope Bibliography (telbib), a database of refereed papers published by the ESO users community.
