Drastic developments in scientific collaboration and multiple authorship vanishes the traditional concept of authorship pattern. For the study 9585 citations and 2247 articles were taken from the international database TOXLINE. In toxicology research field multiple authorship has increased and single author contribution shows steep decrease in rate. Subramanyam’s author collaboration formula is applied on the data. The famous Lokta’s law does not found fit for the study.Keywords

The article highlights the significance of Bradford's law in today's information age. The classical law is applied to the toxicology literature collected from the international database, Toxicology Information Online, (TOXLINE), and its validity on that data was tested. The data was found unfit for the law. Hence a new formula is derived and applied which was found fit for the study.Keywords
