Abstract
Inspired by previous works on human dynamics, we collect the temporal statistics of the article creation by three Western scientists and an Eastern writer. We investigate the distributions of the time intervals between the creations of every two consecutive articles. All four time distributions are found to be deviate from the Poisson statistics, and show an approximate power-law distribution. The power-law exponents are different with respect to individual, indicating that there is no universally shared article creation pattern.
