MetaZipf。（重新）产生关于城市规模分布的知识
MetaZipf. (Re)producing knowledge about city size distributions
摘要：
齐普夫城市定律可能是社会科学中最著名的规律。以至于在出版一百年后，它的地位还不清楚：它是社会组织法吗？它是描述城市规模分布的工具吗？它是否是验证地理对象（特别是城市和城市系统）的一个要素？等级大小参数的经验估计非常多，并且相互矛盾。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个可重复的荟萃分析的最大池的文件关于这个问题，从收集的数据开放和建设的在线互动应用程序，让读者探索这方面的文献。我们发现，在齐普夫系数的测量中观察到的很大一部分变化是不必要的，因为它来自于城市定义方式中不同技术规格的选择，而我们的结果对目前解释剩余变化份额的一些理论提出了挑战。
英文摘要：
Zipf's law for cities is probably the most famous regularity in social sciences. So much that, a hundred years of publication later, its status is not clear: is it a law of social organisation? Is it an instrument of description of city size distributions? Is it an element of validation of geographical objects (cities and systems of cities in particular)? Empirical estimations of the rank-size parameters are very numerous and contradict each other. In this study, we present the results of a reproducible meta-analysis of the largest pool of papers regarding this issue, obtained from the collection of data made open and the construction of an online interactive application which allows the reader to explore this literature. We find that a large part of the variations observed in the measure of Zipf's coefficient is unnecessary as it comes from the choice of different technical specifications in the way cities are defined, whereas some of the current theories to explain the remaining share of variations are challenged by our results.
