Citations, References and the Growth of Scientific Literature: A Model of Dynamic Interaction

Krauze, Tadeusz K.; Hillinger, Claude

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 22, 5, 333-336, Sep 71

The independent variables are the growth rate of the number of articles published and the decay rate of citation of old literature. (13 references) (Author)
