ABSTRACT One of the areas in bibliometric research concerns the application of most commonly used bibliometric laws such as Bradford’s Law of Scattering. The paper gives a review of the scholarly contribution on the various facets of Bradford’s Law. In addition to the theoretical aspects of the law, review covers …

I predict that as the weight increases on the ruler the more it will sag and the more it will sag each time, demonstrated by this rough graph: There should be a strong positive correlation between the sag and the force I predict this because of the rule of compression …
