Scientific paper
The Chandra Data Archive (CDA) has been tracking publications based on Chandra observations in journals and on-line conference proceedings since early in the mission. Our goals are two-fold: 1) provide a means for Chandra users to search literature on Chandra-related papers to further their scientific research; and 2) provide a means for measuring the science produced from Chandra data. In this presentation we focus on our first goal and detail our classification system and procedures, bibliography search pages, as well as our interactions with the Astronomic Data Systems (ADS) to provide direct links to Chandra data from an ADS bibcode page. Our classification system is multi-tiered. Whenever possible we directly link Chandra observations to papers published about that data. We classify Chandra-related papers into 5 general categories and also have 20 flags which indicate something about the content of the paper. Some of those flags are: whether the principle investigator of the data was an author of the paper; which instruments are cited in the paper; and whether the paper contains follow-up analysis, theory, or contains a multi-observatory analysis with Chandra data and some other dataset. We are in the process of expanding our list of flags to include more than 60 other observatories and more than 70 catalogs and surveys. We hope that by gathering more information contained within papers that we can provide a more powerful research tool for our users whether they use our search pages or ADS. This work is supported by NASA contract NAS8-03060.
