En el dos por ciento

Veo que sigo subiendo en el ranking del Social Science Research Network, uno de los dos o tres repositorios académicos más importantes del mundo. Tengo allí publicados 110 artículos, y a fecha de hoy, dice la web que mi

Author Rank is 3,855 out of 196,728

—lo cual quiere decir que acabo de situarme en el dos por ciento superior del ránking.  "Bieeeen". De algo se tiene que alegrar uno, aunque sea de estar en el puesto tres mil ochocientos de algo.

Y alguno de mis artículos se van leyendo: en concreto hoy veo que tengo dos artículos sobre Ian MacEwan en el Top Ten de Literatura Inglesa Contemporánea. Cierto que en mi área no está la cosa muy reñida—y aún no me he encontrado a otro español por allí. In a lonely world we wander. Me pregunto qué repositorio utilizan más mis colegas, visto que en el de nuestra Universidad también soy yo el usuario número uno con diferencia. Hmm... quizá.... ¿ninguno?

También tengo hoy otra docena de tops ten igualmente modestos que me anuncian que

Estoy en muchas salsas, ahora veo por qué he decidido titular a mi blog de este mes Polygraph, y no es mentira. Esta lluvia fina de top tens debe ser el regalo de cumpleaños del cíborg. En fin, cuanto más tiempo pasa, más se van leyendo los escritos de uno. Más o menos.
