L - Total Publications
Total number of papers found as a result of a PubMed search using the gene/protein name and synonyms AND (Gallus OR chick* NOT pea). I use GeneRIF and UniProtKB entries to get the list of proteins names and synonyms and may refine the search as I read the articles and find other names that have been used. So, yes this number contains some false positives but I still think that the number is a useful starting point and I have used it to estimate the precentage of chicken literature that contains GO annotation data.
M - Triaged papers
The kind of triage I do is to take all the papers found (L) and read through the abstract (and sometimes methods & results) to determine whether or not it has "GO annotatable" information. This process culls many papers that only report sequence or RNA expression patterns, etc.
