Abstract

In the absence of formal data set citation standards in the literature, there is no quantitative information on the connection between data distributed from NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) data centers and subsequent research published using EOS data. This paper provides an analysis of a 10-year citation history of research using EOS instrument data in the peer-reviewed literature, which illustrates that the high volume of published EOS-related papers is indicative of the use of data from the NASA DAACs and comprises a significant contribution to the body of scientific knowledge about the Earth's climate.
