Scientific paper

We present preliminary results of a study to determine the star
formation rate of the Galaxy using a census of young stellar objects
(YSOs) in the Spitzer/GLIMPSE and MIPSGAL surveys, which cover nearly
300 square degrees of the Galactic mid-plane. We find a value of 1.7
M&sun;/yr, consistent with independent estimates.
