  1. Science Overview and Discussion Al Wootten ANASAC 16-17 Sept 2013

  2. ASAC Charge #1 ASAC Charge #1: Assess the scientific outcomes and impact from Cycle 0. This should include some preliminary quantitative assessments, such as numbers of papers published and quantitative impact metrics, along with a qualitative assessment. Coordinate with the JAO and the regional ARCs, who would collect the necessary information. • Cycle 0 Paper assessment • Metrics to characterize users • NRAO PR efforts (Blue) • Community outreach efforts ANASAC 16-17 Sept 2013

  3. ALMA Results Published • All ALMA papers tracked by NRAO (and ESO) libraries: https://find.nrao.edu/papers/ • 68 papers with 143 citations • h-index: 7 min/max/mean/stddev: 1/19/4/4 • Two components of interest: SV and Cycle 0 • SV results: 28 published papers • 9 from NA, 15 from Eu, 2 from EA, 2 from Other (Mx) • Cycle 0 results: 41 published papers • 30 from 111 highest ranked projects; one filler (~27% published) • NA: 10 from 31 high ranked projects; 16 papers with NA 1st author • Eu/EA/CL: 9/33/10, 8/24*/11, 3/9/2 • Some papers contain both components ANASAC 16-17 Sept 2013

  4. Proposers to ALMA, Other NRAO telescopes • Gareth Hunt compared the ALMA and NRAO userbases to determine the increase I to the NRAO userbase provided by access to ALMA. • NRAO: all users since 2008C (3898) • ALMA: Cycle 0, Cycle 1, combined • I=(ALMA+NRAO)/NRAO – 1 • Conclusion is that ALMA has attracted many ‘new’ proposers to the NRAO community • User Base Metric Proposal aims to further characterize the ALMA community segment ANASAC 16-17 Sept 2013

  5. Proposed User Base Metric (Lonsdale) • How to track users beyond the 10% who respond to our survey? • Proposed solution: Use library database and ADS to measure • First publication date for author • Place in authorship list • Type of data presented • Observatories used • Analysis to illuminate: • Growth of novice user percentage • Success rate in various groups • Repeat proposer percentage • Demographics • Status: Seeking input and resources ANASAC 16-17 Sept 2013

  6. Community Outreach • What is happening with ALMA? • General Community outreach: • NRAO eNewsemailings • ANASAC, User committees, presentations • AAS and other meetings • CDEs • Static outreach: • NAASC website (general/NA) • Science Portal (general/inclusive) • Project Tracker (PI-specific) • One-on-one outreach • Helpdesk (Contact Scientist, PI-specific) • Data reduction support • General Community (EPO) ANASAC 16-17 Sept 2013
