We introduce an application of Lotka Law at whole of authors with publication in field of "Information Science", between 1996 and 2007. The application executed applied the methodology of Lee Pao (1985). It was selected every authors who appears in authors camps, doesn’t make any cut in the distribution and the estimate of critical values was been calculate using the proposal formula by Nicholls (1989). The results show us the data: one pending equal a "-2,75", the obtained it is lower in the work of Voos (1974), as in the Sen, Taib e Hassan (1996), in this camp; a percentage of authors, executors of one work only, it is equal a 79% and a excellent adjust of the Lotka Law, to be application at the Kolmogorov-Smirnov.
