Title

Dynamic behavior of Bradford's law

Source

Journal of the American Society for Information Science. 46(1995) no.5, S.370-383

Year

Abstract

Examines 2 problems associated with Bradford's law: since empirical data deviate from the law in many applications, what are the significant factors influencing the Bradford graphs; what will be the evolution over time of the Bradford graphs? A computational analysis of the 2 problems is made based on Herbert Simon's model. Several significant findings about the dynamic behaviour of Bradford's law are identified
