On laws of special abilities and the production of scientific literature

Leroy H. Mantell

American Documentation, 1966, vol. 17, issue 1, 8-16

Abstract: A quantitative estimate is made of the magnitude of the problem posed by the quantity of scientific and technical literature produced using improved estimation procedures, which produce more conservative estimates than those previously offered. The key is a method of estimation of literary productivity per man. The possibility that many contributions are presented in more than one publication is suggested.
