Abstract
Within bibliometric analysis, it is a well-established observation that the majority of scientific contributors proffer no more than one manuscript, and that a small but active percentage of authors are disproportionately productive. Lotka's Law summarizes this observation, stating that the number of authors making n contributions is equal to about 1/na of those publishing one paper, where a is approximately 2, and the percentage of all contributors contributing a single paper is approximately 60%.
