30 Goddard Authors The Goddard Library has established a repository of all publications authored or co-authored by a NASA/Goddard researcher. Going back to 2003, we have over 2,960 author records from over 18,624 journal articles, proceedings, book chapters, and books.

31 Goddard Institutional Repository Earth Sciences Earth Sciences Division (Code 610): includes Atmospheric Chemistry & Dynamics, Climate & Radiation, Mesoscale Atmospheric Processes, Global Modelling & Assimilation, and climate research from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies

32 # of Peer-Reviewed EOS Papers in the IR

33 Wrapping Up Although specific data sets are not usually cited, EOS data cited in the literature ultimately came from the NASA DAACs or affiliated data centers. Papers using data sets can be a proxy for data set citation. Journals that published papers using EOS data are diverse: MODIS especially, is cited in non-traditional Earth science journals. Many papers are from international journals. EOS papers tend to be published in journals with high Journal Impact Factors and are highly cited. Bibliometric tools, such as VOSViewer can provide further illumination on bibliometric relationships
