1 Gemini Publications Dennis Crabtree, Jean-Rene Roy, Xiaoyu Zhang Gemini Users Meeting June 2007
2 Publication/Citation Tracking Refereed publications are the primary metric for tracking the success of Gemini Productivity is measured by the number of publications; impact by the # of citations Observatory productivity is a function of its age Citation counts to individual papers grows with time as well Impact refers to normalized citations counts Normalize to median AJ paper of same year
3 Digging deeper One can go beyond the basic productivity and impact numbers Productivity by telescope or instrument Productivity efficiency - # of hours to produce a paper Productivity by Gemini partner Impact by Science Ranking Band Impact by Gemini partner Comparison to other observatories Lies, Damned Lies, and
4 360 papers (GN = 67%; GS = 33%) 300 Publications by Telescope As of June 1/ Number of Publications Gemini North Telescope Program execution Gemini South
5 Number of Publications per Year by Telescope Gemini North Gemini South Number of Papers, Year
6 Instruments # papers Hours per paper* T-ReCS (mid IR imager-spectrograph) Hokupa a-36 (adaptive optics imager) OSCIR (mid IR imager) MICHELLE (mid IR imager- spectrograph) GMOS-N N (optical MO/IFU spectrograph) NIRI (near IR imager-spectro spectro)/altair GNIRS (near IR spectrograph) PHOENIX (near IR HiRes spectrograph) GMOS-S S (optical MO/IFU spectrograph) (*)Paper count as of June 4th 2007; hours charged as of end of 2005B
7 Instrument Efficiency T-ReCS is the most efficient Gemini instrument Except for T-ReCST ReCS,, all the most effective instruments (Hokupa a-36, OSCIR, MICHELLE, GMOS-N N are at GN GMOS-N N is quite efficient Why is there such a gap with GMOS-S? S? PHOENIX has been used extensively in classical Classical is less efficient for reasonably well understood reasons
8 Gemini-Keck NIRSPEC Time Twelve nights of NIRSPEC on Keck II In exchange to the long-term loan of the of an 1-51 µm InSb 1024x1024 detector Supported by Tom Geballe and Marianne Takamiya Four block of three nights (12 nights total) spread over 4 semesters in papers published (a few more coming) Titan, T Tauri,, high z, isotopic ratios and abundances Summary: a very efficient trade 7.5 hours per paper!
