APPENDIX D<br />
ASP Bibliography Project<br />
NSERC began working on a <strong>NASA</strong> <strong>Airborne</strong><br />
<strong>Science</strong> bibliography in September 2007. Scopus<br />
(www.scopus.com), an on-line database product<br />
of Elsevier Publishing Co., was used to conduct<br />
the search. Scopus currently contains 33 million<br />
references and is continuously updated. References<br />
date back to 1869. Scopus contains references from<br />
15,000 peer-reviewed journals representing all the<br />
sciences, in addition to conference proceedings,<br />
book series, trade publications, and other sources.<br />
Keywords were provided by <strong>NASA</strong>’s <strong>Airborne</strong><br />
<strong>Science</strong> <strong>Program</strong>, and were searched in both<br />
acronym and expanded form. A list of keywords<br />
used is given below. From the keyword searches,<br />
1,357 journal articles, 244 conference papers, and<br />
53 review papers were found. Each journal article<br />
abstract was read to confirm its relevance to <strong>NASA</strong><br />
<strong>Airborne</strong> <strong>Science</strong>. As of November <strong>2009</strong>, the<br />
tally for the number of citations related to journal<br />
articles is 15,437. The content of journal articles<br />
and conference proceedings published during<br />
<strong>2009</strong> included the CAMEX, INTEX, NAMMA,<br />
CRYSTAL-FACE, AVE, STRAT, TC4, ARCTAS<br />
and ATV-1 Jules Verne missions.<br />
The bibliography is constructed as an Excel file<br />
that can be sorted on many different parameters<br />
including year published, author and research<br />
aircraft. This file can be accessed at www.nserc.und.<br />
edu/missions/ASbiblio.html. References dating<br />
from 1979 to November <strong>2009</strong> are represented.<br />
The information compiled to date is likely<br />
incomplete. Scopus is not able to conduct fulltext<br />
search of references. Thus, if a keyword is<br />
not present in the abstract or title of a reference,<br />
the reference will be absent from bibliography<br />
as-is. Work will continue to locate additional<br />
<strong>NASA</strong> <strong>Airborne</strong> <strong>Science</strong> references. Plans for<br />
improving the bibliography include searching on<br />
more variations of the keywords; searching for key<br />
authors; and searching in alternate databases.<br />

(AMMA/NAMMA)<br />
