A comparison between some experimental data and the outcome of the present model. The data, reported as a function of the scaled variable ξ/ξo, represent the distribution of the number of publications in a ten year period for all the Italian scholars, obtained in Bonaccorsi et al. (2017) by scaling the distribution of all the different disciplines by their medians. See figure 6 in Bonaccorsi et al. (2017). The red points represent the data for scholars belonging to Life and Hard Science disciplines, the blue points those of the Social Science and Humanities disciplines. The present model has been adjusted to the data. The resulting parameters are Ω=2.0, τ1=2.0, τ2=3.6 and ξo=30.
