Catalog papers:A paper that is based on a published catalog based on CFHT data. These papers are usually not counted unless they exclusively use CFHT data. It is then considered a facility paper

En conclusion
● Archival research is a major contributor to the Scientific Impact of CFHT papers.
● Archival data quality is important to allow to publish high quality papers quickly.
● Validates the future path taken by CFHT's Large Programs and MSE.
