ESO - telebib
The ESO Telescope Bibliography (telbib) is a database of refereed papers published by the ESO users community. All papers use partly or exclusively data from ESO facilities. Statistics derived from the ESO Telescope Bibliography include only papers based on data from telescopes and instruments for which observing time was recommended by the ESO OPC (Observing Programmes Committee).

telbib is compiled by scanning the major astronomical journals for scientific papers that contain any of the ESO-defined keywords (e.g., telescope and instrument names). All papers included in the database have been inspected visually to ensure that they directly use ESO observational data.
