===== THEMIS publications statistics =====

Here we count the publications making use of the THEMIS telescope or of data acquired by THEMIS instruments. Some publications use only THEMIS data, but many use several data sources to get to the result. An acknowledgement of the use of the THEMIS telescope is mandatory in any publication using any fraction of THEMIS data, however this rule has been diversely followed over the years. Identifying a publication for this list is based on the existence of such acknowledgement (when it exists), but it also relies on the paper abstract content.

  * From the early days (1980) until 12/2011, a library for **refereed publications only** has been created by Frédéric Paletou @IRAP/Bass 2000. (The link to this initial attempt is currently lost). This library was used as input for the next version:  

  * [[https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/public-libraries/BtvRn9YcT6Oce2FhoORYJw | SAO/NASA ADS Themis_bg library]] is the follow-up of the previous work,  **now up to 12/2023**, and encompass **referred and non-refereed** publications. \\ However no attempt has been yet made to retrieve the non-referred publication from the early beginning to 2014; As a consequence:
    * the number of refereed publications is accurate.
    * the total number of publications is underestimated
