The source-effort coverage of an exponential informetric process

作者:

Highlights:

• This article highlights the connexion between the amount of effort (as understood by Shannon) and informetric distribution.

• Throughout this paper we will be using the mathematical adjustment concept, which has already been introduced to the field of informetric.

• We choose to focus on the Lotkaian and exponential cases.
