Consequences of Lotka's Law for the Law of Bradford.

Egghe, L.

Journal of Documentation, v41 n3 p173-89 Sep 1985

After discussion of the equivalency of the information laws of Bradford, Leimkuhler, Lotka, and Mandelbrot, aberrations from Leimkuhler's law (including "Groos droop" as encountered in practice) are studied. Other aberrations of Leimkuhler's law are explained, starting from generalization of verbal formulation of Bradford's Law. (18 references) (EJS)
