The GUSBAD catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is based on archival BATSE DISCLA data covering the full 9.1 years of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory mission. The catalog contains 2204 GRBs, including 589 bursts not listed in the Current BATSE Burst Catalog. The GUSBAD catalog is uniform in the sense that the detection criteria are the same throughout and that the properties given in the catalog are available for every burst. The detection and the derivation of the properties of the GRBs were carried out automatically. This makes the GUSBAD catalog especially suitable for statistical work and simulations, such as used in the derivation of V/Vmax. We briefly touch upon a potential problem in defining a GRB duration that is physically meaningful.
