Title

¬The bibliometric distributions

Abstract

One of the most surprising findings in the information sciences is the recurrence of a small number of frequency distributions. In this paper, these distributions are described, and a point of view is adopted that allows us to understand them a being different versions of a single distribution. The empirical distributions are shown to be special cases of a single theoretic distribution. It is found that when random fluctuations are introduced, the distributions are not strongly influenced
