Scientific paper

We present how a metrics program was developed for the Hubble Space Telescope and how we use publication statistics to monitor, evaluate and improve the scientific output of Hubble's different programs and observing modes. We highlight important results of this project such as number of papers, citation counts, and high-impact papers. Any facility wishing to monitor its productivity and impact can follow the steps presented here.
We also propose the adoption of a standard method to classify the astronomical literature, as this could greatly ease the collection of telescope bibliographies. A collaboration among observatories, and a more automated, perhaps centralized, creation of telescope bibliographies should be considered by the community. This will become possible with the advent of database identifiers and new computing techniques. This effort would result in an improvement of the measured scientific output of observing facilities.
