Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1979, vol. 30, issue 2, 107-108

Abstract: An examination of the occurrence of data elements within the various indexes and bibliographies produced by the 15 intergovernmental organizations of the United Nations system revealed a classic Bradford distribution. Interestingly, in this case the data is the number of types, not tokens. Implications for bibliographic unification are discussed.
