摘要：

In this paper, we have examined the validity of Lotka's function for a measurement of scientific productivity. A systematic deviation of this function from numerical examples has been found by introducing a different least square formulation instead of a logarithmic linearization. Therefore, a modification on the measurement of the publication frequencies is proposed.
