鉴于与先前几项研究的结论相冲突，我们对科恩关于各个实验室的发表率的数据进行了新的分析。 1976-77 年国家癌症研究所（美国）和国家医学研究所（英国）的团体规模。目前的分析基于将数据细分为连续的实验室范围。小组规模 1-3、4-6、7-9 ... 并计算每个范围的相关发表率人 (R)。绘制时，会生成人均发表率 R 初始线性上升的图表，然后是小组规模 6,16 和 27±2 人时明显标记的发表率最大值（最大值/最小值 sim 1.6），这通过对两个不同小组规模范围的分析进行确认。峰值处的群体大小大概对应于最佳效率，与本作者几年前发表的来自不同国家的样本的研究结果基本一致。我们的结论介于 Cohen（出版率与规模无关）和 Wallmarket 等人的研究结果之间。 （研究效率随规模呈指数级增长）。
In view of conflict with the conclusions of several earlier studies, a fresh analysis has been made ofCohen's data on publication-rate for various lab. group sizes in the National Cancer Institute (USA) and the National Institute of Medical Research (U.K.) for 1976–77. The present analysis is based on subdividing the data into successive ranges of lab. group size, 1–3, 4–6, 7–9 ... and calculating the relevant publication rate person (R) for each range.When plotted, this yields graphs with aninitiallinear rise of per-capita publication rate, R, followed by well-marked maxima of publication rates (maxima/minima sim 1.6) at group size of 6,16, and 27±2 persons, which are confirmed through analyses with ranges of two different group sizes. The group size at the peaks presumably correspond to optimum efficiency, in general agreement with the findings of the present author on samples from various countries published several years ago. Our conclusions fall somewhere between the findings ofCohen(publication rate independent of size) and those ofWallmarket al. (research efficiency increases exponentially with size).
