description In this contribution, an empirical relationship between the number of review and research articles published per year was searched. The simple idea based on proportionality (linearity) between the numbers of both kinds of articles was expressed in terms of a quadratic relationship, in which the quadratic member can reflect negative or positive deviations from the assumed linearity. The quadratic relationship was able to describe beginning periods of research fields as well as their mature phases and to detect the unpredictably high number of review articles. It was verified by the articles published in 20 various research fields taken from the Web of Science during different time spans. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11192-023-04654-0.
