Lotka's Law and Bioinformatics Research in India

2021
The study aims to examine the validity of Lotka’s law and authorship distribution to the research outcome of Indian bioinformatics research output indexed in the web of science during 2008-2017. A total of 8732 papers has been scattered in 1723 journals during the period were compiled from web of science database.

Lotka's Law and Computer Science Literature

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1979
AbstractAn experiment to verify the satisfaction of Lotka's law, with the papers published in the area of computer science, is reported. It is seen that the estimates of this law deviate considerably from the observations. Need for further experiments to verify Lotka's law in the area of applied sciences and engineering is emphasized.

Application of lotka's law in current science journal

Journal of Information Management, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the application of Lotka’s law in current science journals. Aim: To investigate the scientific productivity of authorship patterns in current science journals. To verify the Lotka’s law using general power method (n≠2) and inverse square method (n=2) and to analyse the frequency distribution of author’s ...

Conservation laws for Lotka–Volterra models

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2003
AbstractWe derive necessary and sufficient conditions on a Lotka–Volterra model to admit a conservation law of Volterra's type. The result and the proof for the corresponding linear algebra problem are given in graph‐theoretical terms; they refer to the directed graph which is defined by the coefficients of the differential equation system.

An empirical examination of Lotka's law

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1986
There were 48 sets of author productivity data tested against Lotka's Law of xnmiddot;y = c. Overwhelming conformity to the law was found. However, only seven data sets fitted the inverse square law. For future tests, representative coverage and good sampling techniques should be adhered to in data compilation.

Lotka's Law and Map Librarianship

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1975
AbstractLotka's Law states that given the number of authors who have written one article, the number writing multiple articles can be predicted. Though Lotka's Law was based on a study of the chemistry and physics literature, interest has recently developed as to its possible application to the humanities.

Lotka's law, price's urn, and electronic publishing

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1995
The thesis of this brief piece is that electronic publishing in its present and future Internet or Internet-like format is sufficiently different that electronic publishing will burgeon and that it will fundamentally change the nature of scholarly pubishing. Why ?

“Lotka's law in the humanities?”

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1973
AbstractIt is stressed that Lotka's Law was originally only applicable in physical science, specifically chemistry and physics. The more recent general application of Lotka's Law in non‐physical science, without appropriate new tests of validity, is bemoaned.

Lotka's law: A testing procedure

Information Processing & Management, 1985
Abstract Instead of the commonly accepted inverse square law, Lotka's original formulation was based on a more general inverse power law: x n · y = c . The exponent and the constant must be estimated from the given set of author productivity data. A step-by-step outline is presented for testing the applicability of Lotka's law.
