Abstract
This study examines the changes that occurred in its publication and citation patterns during the forty years from 1939 through 1979.Data are generally described in terms of eight five-year periods, and the findings of this study are compared with the results of similar studies of various subject literatures.An overall trend toward greater adherence to the norms of scholarly publication in other disciplines was observed.

Lotka's Law and Library Science.
33 Citations1974Alan Edward Schorr
Two library journals, Library Quarterly and College & Research Libraries (1963-1972), were selected and there is a marked similarity between the results obtained and if Lotka's Law were valid for library science, the percentages should have approximated 11.1 percent, 6.2 percent, and 4.0 percent.

Repetition is avoided here by reporting the results of a study in which the methods of statistical bibliography were applied to an evaluation of the periodical literature of biochemistry.

A ranking list of periodicals in this field has been prepared on the basis of citations in the Annual review of biochemistry for 1968,1969, and 1970 to reflect the impact of literature on the progress of biochemical knowledge more accurately than the list prepared by Henkle in 1938.
