The ING Paper Count
The ING asks users of its facilities to give proper
acknowledgement to
this effect in the papers that they publish, and are kindly requested to email the
ING librarian with the publication details and the
ING PR Officer, if the results are worth a public release.
The list of refereed papers using ING observations (ING paper count) includes refereed papers from a given list of journals based partly or entirely on data
obtained using the ING telescopes, either directly or via the ING data archive. Hence, the above excludes papers which make use of results obtained from the analysis of observations made at ING (presumably presented in an earlier different paper).
The list of any other publications includes any kind of publication (papers, books, etc.), either refereed or unrefereed, which don't meet the criteria of the ING paper count. This list is intended to be a collection of interesting publications, and it is not necessarily complete or based on ING data. Examples include papers describing new instruments for the ING, PhD thesis, IAU telegrams, conference comunications, etc.
The ING paper count is compiled from only the following refereed journals:
Astronomy and Astrophysics (A&A), Astrophysical Journal (ApJ), Astrophysical Journal Letters (ApJL), Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series (ApJS), Astronomical Journal (AJ), Nature, Nature Astronomy, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS), Publications fo the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP) and Science,
although many
other results have appeared elsewhere, notably in workshop and conference proceedings and in PhD theses. We also collect examples of the latter, and of other publications not necessarily containing observational results.
For each paper we show the reference, nationality of the
first host institution of the first author (using the standard ISO abbreviations) and the ING instruments used.
If the data have been obtained from an archive of ING data, the source
is indicated in the 'instrument' field as follows:
'archive' refers to the main ING data archive; "WFS" refers to the INT Wide-Field Survey archive; "IPHAS" refers to the
archive of the INT/WFC photometric Hα survey of
the northern Galactic plane, etc..
If the observations were obtained as part of an ING service or override proposal,
then this is shown as "service" or "override" (abbreviated as O/R)
respectively in the instrument field. Note that it is not always straightforward to
identify when data have been obtained through this route, so the
labelling as 'service' or 'O/R' will be incomplete.
The ING papers can be listed from the ING paper database. An analisys of the ING papers can be found at the use of observing time and scientific productivity. Publications produced by ING are available at the ING astronomy documentation and publications repository.
