Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Derek J. de Solla Price. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20170211235944/http://issi-society.org/price.html to http://issi-society.org/price.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Expert needed

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

@CWH: I don't think I can call myself an expert in the History of Science, but I know something of the field, and have plenty of experience in literature searching and bibliographic work. I've expanded the biography section, using more sources. I've also expanded the publications section and standardised the format of the citations. I'll let you remove the template if you are happy with this. If not, some comments about what is still required would be helpful. Thanks Kognos (talk) 16:32, 10 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Glad and grateful to do so! You have done terrific work. I would only suggest that the lead might be expanded beyond the present rather bare paragraph, so that a reader can get a better idea of his life and significance.ch (talk) 23:30, 10 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Price's law

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It's not explained correctly - his law is not about the papers written (i.e., physical creation of something), but about citations of papers by authors (i.e., impact). The latter scale, the former not. Also see main article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price%27s_model Sschuerger (talk) 12:40, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
