The baseline time span for this database is 1999-February 28, 2009 (first
bimonthly period 2009). The resulting database contained 4,241 (10 years)
and 1,086 (2 years) papers. To construct the top 20 papers lists for the
past decade and the past two years, the papers were further narrowed down
by the title keywords "GAMMA," and "GRB." This adjustment resulted in the
top 20 papers being selected from a pool of 2,658 (10 years) and 629 (2
years) papers.
