Productivity measure is the number of papers published from 14 telescopes under study. Astronomical data observed through these telescopes gets transformed into research papers. Such papers further get used by their peers and get cited. This is the actual impact of the telescopes in terms of scholarship. This aspect will be analyzed in this paper using scientometric indicators.
