- Abstract
- Results in the literature concerning the probability that an author publishes r articles in time t are reexamined, and it is found that a negative binomial distribution bits scientific productivity data (by the chi-squared goodness-of-fit-test) better than many other distribution such as geometric, logarithmic, zeta, cumulative advantage, etc. It is shown analytically that the nagative binomial distribution describes a pattern of scientific productivity under the 'success-breeds-success' condition in a wide variety of social circumstances

- Abstract
- One of the most surprising findings in the information sciences is the recurrence of a small number of frequency distributions. In this paper, these distributions are described, and a point of view is adopted that allows us to understand them a being different versions of a single distribution. The empirical distributions are shown to be special cases of a single theoretic distribution. It is found that when random fluctuations are introduced, the distributions are not strongly influenced
