Informetrics - Open Access .click

Information Processing and Management, 2008
The continuous version of the Lotka distribution, more generally referred to outside of informetrics as the Pareto distribution, has long enjoyed a central position in the theoretical development of informetrics despite several reported drawbacks in modelling empirical data distributions, most particularly that the inverse power form seems mainly to be

Web informetrics: extending classical informetrics to the Web

Proceedings. 13th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications, 2004
We explore the extension of classical informetric theory to the WWW. From the power law distribution of Web page degrees, we derived other interesting laws that hold for the Web such as Mandelbrot's law, Leimkuhler's law and Bradford's law. We introduced the theory of information producing processes that serves as a generic framework for studying the ...
