Statistics on refereed publications in 2016 that make use of data from ESO telescopes have just been published by the ESO library. The statistics are calculated using the ESO Telescope Bibliography (telbib), a database of refereed publications that use ESO data. In January 2017, the total number of publications in telbib resulting from the La Silla Paranal Observatory since 1996, passed 13 000. The annual summary of publication statistics, with breakdown by telescopes and instruments and comparison with other observatories, is available as Basic ESO Publication Statistics.
