Relations between continuous versions of bibliometric laws

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1990, vol. 41, issue 3, 197-203

Abstract: This article will show how by adding a third “hidden” variable to the two parameters in Lotka's law, this law becomes equivalent, in a strict logical sense, with Mandelbrot's. Similarly, Lotka's inverse square law becomes equivalent with Leimkuhler's. We will also show how Pareto's law fits into this framework. © 1990 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
