Below are publications that use data and/or products of Exoplanet Watch. View on SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS).

If you are a citizen scientist participating in Exoplanet Watch, you will be listed as a co-author on scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals if they use your light curve in their research. You don't have to write your own scientific paper in order to contribute to the global body of scientific knowledge about transiting exoplanets.
