(Ed.) Informetrics 87/88, Belgium : Diepenbeek, Pag 293-299 | Abstract: | By analyzing the distribution of publications as a function of received citations, a relation was found between the deciles of this distribution and the number of citations. This relation suggests a model analogous to Beer's Law in physics on the absorption of Light in a homogenous layer of absorbing material. The results show a remarkable constancy over time. A description of this new model and its consequences on citation behaviour are presented in this paper. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/848 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
