A bibliography with over 1,000 references to various aspects of Leonid storm research has been compiled, which may help make the scientific literature more accessible. That includes professional publications, but also the work of amateurs in the field. Leonid storm research is loosely defined as all aspects of meteor research that have been facilitated by the occurrence of the recent 2001 to 2002 Leonid storms. 20 topics have been identified where Leonid storm research has uniquely contributed in the NASA's disciplines of Planetary Astronomy, Astrobiology, Geospheres, and the satellite impact hazard. In several disciplines, there has been an exponential growth in the number of relevant publications in recent years. This growth is only partially explained by the rise of new communication techniques. The various reasons for this rejuvenation for the meteor field are discussed.
