    The article explores the issue of Revelation’s authorship and the impact it has on the interpretation of the document, particularly some of its most crucial places. The Revelation literature on the topic is reviewed and all the avenues so far advanced to solve the riddle are discussed at length in the light of the evidence available. In this context, the standard arguments against John the Apostle as an authorial option are pondered. As a result of his quest, the author of the article proposes to leave the door open to further research on the topic without rejecting the viability of an Apostolic origin of the Apocalypse.El artículo explora el problema de la autoría del libro de Apocalipsis y el impacto que tiene en la interpretación del documento, particularmente en algunos de sus lugares más cruciales.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Excelente es mejor que bueno: cristología y revelación progresiva en Hebreos

    No full text
    By means of a literary and rhetoric strategy of upgrading-through-downgrading, theauthor of Hebrews called the attention of its original addressees to the fact that whatthey felt prone to go back to as God’s most dependable self-disclosure (the temple, thepriesthood, the Sinai covenant, etcetera) had in fact Jesus Christ as its very foundation,sub-stance and unsurmountable apex. All those former revelatory phases or stages wereonly segments of a seamless continuum. Staring at the stem of God’s revelatory tree, theywere in danger of missing the nurturing root and the fruit-bearing top. The pre-incarnateSon had been feeding endlessly and from the very onset every inch of the tree as itsdivine Root, while the top was now offering dire and free access to the seasoned fruit ofsalvation in and through the person and ministry of Jesus Christ both on earth at first andin heaven now.Mediante una estrategia literaria y retórica consistente en destacar el valor superior dealgo contrastándolo con otro elemento comparativamente inferior, el autor de Hebreosllama la atención de sus destinatarios originales al hecho de que las revelaciones mediadasque Dios hizo de sí mismo en el pasado y que aparentemente les parecían más confiables(el santuario/templo, el sacerdocio levítico, el pacto del Sinaí, etc.) tenían en realidad aJesucristo mismo como fundamento, sustancia y clímax revelacional. Todas aquellas fasesprevias no eran insuperables ni fines en sí mismos, sino apenas segmentos de un todo continuo,progresivo e indivisible. Absortos como estaban en el tronco de la auto-revelacióndivina precedente, corrían el riesgo de perder de vista a quien era el Sustrato nutriente deltodo y su razón de ser. El Hijo pre-encarnado había estado alimentando todo el tiempo ydesde el mismo comienzo cada partícula del árbol de la revelación divina como su raíz y suesencia misma. La atención de ellos debía ser llamada a la copa que ofrecía acceso directoy libre al fruto maduro de la salvación en y por medio de la Persona y el ministerio de Jesucristo, primero en la tierra, luego en el cielo
