Scientific paper

The primary scientific output from an astronomical telescope is the collection of papers published in refereed journals. A telescope's productivity is measured by the number of papers published which are based upon data taken with the telescope. The scientific impact of a paper can be measured quantitatively by the number of citations that the paper receives. In this poster, I examine the productivity and impact of the several 8-m class telescopes including Gemini, Keck, Magellan, Subaru, and the VLT telescopes using paper and citation counts. I also present results for a subset of 4-m telescopes and HST for comparison.
