Miguel d'Ors and the aesthetics of immense smallness
This article sets out to explore the aesthetics of immense smallness in the poetic work of Miguel d’Ors (Santiago de Compostela, 1946), one of Spain’s foremost contemporary poets. This is an aspect that has remained constant throughout his extensive literary career and which, until now, had not received critical attention. Taking as a point of departure a brief mention of the term in Octavio Paz’s Children of the Mire, this paper attempts to demonstrate, through the analysis of a representative group of poems taken from the various poetic stages of the Galician author, that this aesthetics implies a peculiar way of perceiving reality (especially natural reality) through which its smallest or most insignificant elements can acquire, in their modest and limited nature, a sublime or transcendent dimension, either as an imaginary redress of the modern split self or as a manifestation of divine grandeur.Peer reviewe

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
