Gupta, B. M.; Sharma, Lalita; Kumar, Suresh

Information Processing & Management, v34 n1 p121-31 Jan 1998

Explores the applicability of selected technology diffusion models to the growth of literature in Indian and World physics (1900-50). Focuses on the applicability and validity of two forms of Lotka's Law and negative binomial distribution model to the cumulative author productivity data on Indian physics. Looks at linkages between inequality/concentration measures and development of Indian physics as a discipline. (Author/AEF)
