Discussion of fractional frequency distributions of authors with a certain (fractional) number of papers focuses on the use of Lotka laws to model theoretical fractional frequency distributions with one parameter. Shows that irregular fractional frequency distributions are a consequence of Lotka's law, not breakdowns of the law. (Author/LRW)
