论文摘要
在本文中，我对有关ZIPF的城市定律的经验文献进行了文本和上下文分析。在以前的荟萃分析材料的基础上，我收集了以英语发表的66篇科学文章的全文和书目，并构建了他们使用的术语以及他们引用的参考文献和学科的相似性网络。在66篇文章中报道的ZIPF估计值的相似性网络的模型中，我将这些网络用作解释变量。我发现作者经常使用的单词中的接近性与他们报告ZIPF估计值相似的值和分散的趋势呈正相关。文章的参考框架也起着作用，因为引用类似参考的文章倾向于报告ZIPF估计值相似的平均值。作为对以前的荟萃分析的补充，目前的方法阐明了动员的科学文本和环境，以报告城市规模的分布。它允许识别语料库中的差距，并可能被忽略的文章。
In this article, I conduct a textual and contextual analysis of the empirical literature on Zipf's law for cities. Building on previous meta-analysis material openly available, I collect full texts and bibliographies of 66 scientific articles published in English and construct similarity networks of the terms they use as well as of the references and disciplines they cite. I use these networks as explanatory variables in a model of the similarity network of the distribution of Zipf estimates reported in the 66 articles. I find that the proximity in words frequently used by authors correlates positively with their tendency to report similar values and dispersion of Zipf estimates. The reference framework of articles also plays a role, as articles which cite similar references tend to report similar average values of Zipf estimates. As a complement to previous meta-analyses, the present approach sheds light on the scientific text and context mobilized to report on city size distributions. It allows to identified gaps in the corpus and potentially overlooked articles.
