I'm not involved enough that I think my suggestions should carry weight, but I'll make an observation. The current list is all-inclusive and any of those paper scan be found by searching for "GRASS GIS" on Google Scholar. All this adds is a citation count & h-index. Which is a fine point and may be the point.

A perhaps useful curated subset is papers *about* GRASS (or papers where GRASS is the focus, add-ons, etc). That curated list is probably important enough it is worth being hosted as a page on the GRASS wiki, and not just on Google Scholar.

Anyway, the current focus includes me: non-dev, just user, used it in a paper, so feel free to add DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.5194/tc-11-303-2017
