| Abstract: | A cumulative index of geophysics for the two most important journals "Geophysics" and "Geophysical Prospecting" in the field of exploration geophysics for the period 1936-1985 was analyzed for author productivity trends. Author Productivity trends were tested for the application of Lotka's law by applying K-S statistical test. Two files were generated out of this data base; one for the period 1936-1985 and the other for the period 1936-1976 to test the time sensitivity of Lotka's law. Lotka's law did not apply as inverse square law but could apply satisfactorily with exponent value of 2. 1 on author productivity distribution patterns of both the files. |
