Gaia publications in Peer-Reviewed Journals |
A library of post-launch, peer-reviewed Gaia publications is being maintained by the ESA Gaia Project Scientist and can be found at https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/public-libraries/RRkgJNOORAyJ3BOuo5EdNQ. The publications in this list are supposed to meet at least one of the following criteria, which are being applied uniformly across ESA science missions:
With on average five papers per calendar day, the publication rate of Gaia is so high that individual inspection and vetting of every publication candidate is no longer sustainable. Therefore a pre-defined query aimed at identifying Gaia publications autonomously is being executed regularly on the database of the Astrophysics Data System (ADS). The results of that query are joined with a static library that corresponds to the manually-curated Gaia library as of September 2024. The details of this process are described below. The main consequence of this approach is that the results contain a small fraction of false positives, i.e. publications that do not satisfy any of the three criteria above. While the Gaia publication library contains less than 5% false-positive entries, the aggregrated counts generally represent a lower limit to the true counts. This is because many publications make direct use of Gaia data without marking it clearly enough for automated identification. The current yearly publication counts determined on the basis of the Gaia publication library are shown below:
Number of publications included in the Gaia library as a function of year. The hatched bar indicates the current year for which the count is necessarily incomplete. Credits: ESA/Gaia/DPAC, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO.

Design of the automated queryThe automated query that is executed on the ADS database is composed of the following elements:
* The main Gaia Data Release papers in this context are:
** The use of Gaia-based distances presented in those works is interpreted as direct use of Gaia data. The two publications are:
The query that can be used directly in the ADS search field is: full:"This work has made use of data from the European Space Agency (ESA) mission Gaia" OR facility:gaia OR ((abs:Gaia NOT abs:Gaia-ESO) AND (citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...2G) OR citations(bibcode:2018A&A...616A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2021A&A...649A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2023A&A...674A...1G))) OR ((full:"Gaia Data Release 1" OR full:"Gaia DR1") AND (citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...2G) OR citations(bibcode:2018A&A...616A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2021A&A...649A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2023A&A...674A...1G))) OR ((full:"Gaia Data Release 2" OR full:"Gaia DR2") AND (citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...2G) OR citations(bibcode:2018A&A...616A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2021A&A...649A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2023A&A...674A...1G))) OR ((full:"Gaia Early Data Release 3" OR full:"Gaia EDR3") AND (citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...2G) OR citations(bibcode:2018A&A...616A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2021A&A...649A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2023A&A...674A...1G))) OR ((full:"Gaia Data Release 3" OR full:"Gaia DR3") AND (citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...2G) OR citations(bibcode:2018A&A...616A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2021A&A...649A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2023A&A...674A...1G))) OR ((full:"Gaia Focused Product Release" OR full:"Gaia FPR") AND (citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...2G) OR citations(bibcode:2018A&A...616A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2021A&A...649A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2023A&A...674A...1G))) OR ((full:"Gaia Data Release 4" OR full:"Gaia DR4") AND (citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2016A&A...595A...2G) OR citations(bibcode:2018A&A...616A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2021A&A...649A...1G) OR citations(bibcode:2023A&A...674A...1G))) OR (body:(distance NEAR5 gaia) AND (citations(bibcode:2018AJ....156...58B) OR citations(bibcode:2021AJ....161..147B))) year:2014-2035 property:refereed
Processing of query resultsThe results of the automated query are filtered as follows:
The resulting publication list is merged with the static library mentioned earlier to generate the final Gaia publication library.
