A remarkable example in three-dimensional informetrics. The geometric law: Distribution of use or distribution of structure?

作者：

Highlights：

• We operate in three-dimensional informetrics related to IPP.

• We postulate on the existence of a distribution of structure.

• The geometric law was highlighted in the triangular pattern.
