摘要: THEORIGINAL STATEMENT of what has come to be known as Lotka’s law was made in 1926 journal article, “The Frequency Distribution Scientific Productivity”: “...the number (of authors) makingn contributions is about l/n2 those making one; and the proportion all contributors, that make a single contribution, 60percent.”’ To derive his “inverse square law,” Lotka used comprehensive bibliographies chemistry physics plotted percentage authors 1, 2, 3,...n against with both variables on lo
