Another implication of Lotka's Law (in addition to measuring authors' productivity) would be tied to the 'Matthew Effect', in that the more it is published, the greater the stimulus and facility to publish a new paper and researchers who post more results gain more recognition and access to resources to improve your search (Garcia et al, 2016;Mello, Barbosa, Dantas, & Botelho, 2017;Quevedo-Silva et al, 2016).
