The Poisson-Lognormal Model for Bibliometric/Scientometric Distributions.
Stewart, John A.
Information Processing and Management, v30 n2 p239-51 Mar-Apr 1994
Illustrates that the Poisson-lognormal model provides good fits to a diverse set of distributions commonly studied in bibliometrics and scientometrics. Topics discussed include applications to the empirical data sets related to the laws of Lotka, Bradford, and Zipf; causal processes that could generate lognormal distributions; and implications for future studies.
