- Abstract
- Refers to the many changes in the research process in the post Second World War period, including the increased involvement of government and industry in establishing R&D laboratories, and by way of grant to universities. Discusses concepts, types, and problems in measuring scientific productivity, reviewing studies since 1926. Examines theoretical developments in relation to the frequency distribution of Lotka's Law of Scientific Productivity. The various studies are mainly non-comparable and inconclusive owing to substantial differences in the analytical methods applied. Poits out the need for methodological standardisation and coordination of research efforts in this area through empirical validation and generalisation of bibliometric models
