Bibliometric Laws: Lotka, Bradford, Zipf
Three foundational empirical laws describe the structure and distribution of scientific information: Lotka's Law characterizes author productivity (most authors publish few papers; a few publish many), Bradford's Law describes journal concentration (a small number of core journals contain the majority of papers on a topic), and Zipf's Law models word and term frequency (word frequency inversely proportional to its rank). These regularities, discovered in the mid-20th century, are remarkably robust across disciplines and have become essential tools for understanding research productivity, organizing information resources, and designing search strategies.
