ArticleEducación mediática e informacional y pensamiento crítico: una revisión sistemática(Universidad de La Laguna, 2023) Lopez-Gonzalez, H.; Sosa, Luciana; Sánchez, Lydia; Faure-Carvallo, AdrienLa alfabetización mediática e informacional parece ser necesaria en la formación de una ciudadanía capaz de usar la información de manera crítica. Los crecientes fenómenos de desinformación, así como los efectos de los medios y en especial los medios sociales en ciertos colectivos, nos obliga a analizar de qué manera este tipo de educación ayuda a crear un pensamiento crítico. Metodología: Este estudio ofrece una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica publicada sobre pensamiento crítico y alfabetización mediática e informacional. Para ello, se analizaron las bases de datos de la Core Collection de la Web of Science y de Scopus. Resultados: Tras una criba en función de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión establecidos, se analizó una muestra de 65 artículos. En el análisis se tuvieron en cuenta tanto las principales características bibliométricas de la producción científica como los temas emergentes. Discusión: Se observó que la mayoría de la producción científica tiene una naturaleza empírica siguiendo tres patrones temáticos: ámbito de aplicación; instrumentos y evaluación; límites y dificultades. Como conclusión, la revisión sugiere que incluir la alfabetización mediática e informacional en la educación mejora la capacidad crítica. Sin embargo, en sí misma muestra algunas limitaciones como que su efecto se debilite con el tiempo o que necesite ser complementada con otros enfoques.- ArticleMoving towards critical AI literacy in LIS education: a scoping review and syllabi analysis(Emerald Publishing, 2025-10-17) Bridges, Laurie; Lopezosa, Carlos; Centelles Velilla, Miquel; Ferran Ferrer, NúriaPurpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate generative artificial intelligence (AI) literacy integration within library and information science (LIS) educational programs, examining how academic curricula prepare future professionals to engage critically and competently with AI technologies. Design/methodology/approach – A dual methodological approach combining a systematic scoping review of AI literature in LIS and a detailed analysis of syllabi from leading international LIS programs is used. The review identifies emerging trends and frameworks, while the syllabi analysis examines practical implementation. Findings – The investigation reveals significant pedagogical fragmentation and global inequities in the integration of AI literacy in LIS programs, characterized by a lack of consensus around the frameworks used, institutional disparities and false dichotomies between technical and critical pedagogies. Research limitations/implications – This study highlights the risks of stratification, where some programs offer sophisticated interdisciplinary training, while others provide only technical instruction, potentially fragmenting the global LIS community, at a time when coordinated responses to AI simplications are crucial. Practical implications – While many programs have implemented basic AI literacy, there is uneven global integration of critical AI literacy, which more closely aligns with the profession’s values of social justice and democratic well-being (ALA, 2023; IFLA, 2025). Social implications – Research addresses the profession’s obligation to serve as ethical information stewards in an algorithmic age, emphasizing that graduates must leverage AI capabilities while critically examining implications for information equity, privacy and democratic participation (ALA, 2023; IFLA,2025).
- ArticleDetermining gender in academic authorship: a comprehensive and methodical approach(Emerald Publishing, 2025-04-28) Boté Vericad, Juan José; Centelles, Miquel; Ferran Ferrer, NúriaPurposeThis study introduces an advanced method for ascertaining the gender identity of scientific authors of academic papers indexed in Web of Science or Scopus. This study aims to improve gender information retrieval, thereby benefiting gender-based bibliometric studies.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 187 authors was examined using two identification methods: manual examination and R scripts performing queries in different databases. Gender verification involved consulting databases such as Scopus, ORCID, Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), Wikidata and Gender-API.FindingsFindings revealed that manual checks identified the gender of 50.8% of authors in Wikidata and 37.43% in VIAF, achieving high reliability but varying success across datasets. The R script identified 42.24% of authors in Wikidata and 31.01% in VIAF, underscoring the value of automated tools despite limitations. In addition, this study identifies and addresses biases in automated gender identification practices, which have contributed to the underrepresentation of women in bibliometric studies.Originality/valueThe study emphasizes the need for more accessible data, including linked open data, to refine author gender identification within the scientific domain. By highlighting and mitigating biases in automated methods, this dual-method approach not only enhances gender identification accuracy but also contributes to more equitable representation in academic bibliometric analyses.
- ArticleWikipedia’s Front-page 10 years evolution: analysis of gender and intersectionalities on content, newsroom guidelines and volunteer-driven insights in the Spanish and English editions(Bastas Publications DOO, 2025-11-10) Ferran Ferrer, Núria; Centelles, Miquel; Fernández, LauraWikipedia, as one of the world’s most visited digital web pages, serves as a global provider of knowledge. However, it is not immune to societal biases, including the gender gap that has been a persistent issue. We conducted a decade-long analysis (2013-2023) of 4,218 main pages from the English and Spanish editions of Wikipedia. Our study explores implicit biases–including language, occupation, ethnic group, religion, country and gender identity–among 22,924 biographies featured on these front pages. Beyond examining the selection of biographical content featured daily on the front page, we analyzed 31 editorial guidelines employed by the gatekeepers who determine which stories gain prominence on these pages. This study underscores the imperative for systemic change within the platform’s editorial practices. Recognizing these issues is crucial for mitigating disparities in online knowledge representation and cultivating a more inclusive and diverse digital information landscape.
- ArticleFrom Sexting to Sexpreading: Trivialization of Digital Violence, Gender Differences and Collective Responsibilities(Springer Science + Business Media, 2025-06-01) Fernández, Laura; Álvarez Cueva, Priscila; Masanet Jordà, María JoséThis article starts from a pedagogical disambiguation around sexting elaborated from the socio-educational cooperatives edPAC and CANDELA. This nuanced definition understands sexting as the practice of voluntarily and consensually sharing intimate and sexual content through different platforms and devices. In contrast, sexpreading is understood as the practice of disseminating sexual content without consent. We conducted short-term ethnographic research with adolescents in Barcelona with the objective of understanding how they perceive sexting and sexpreading based on their own experiences and social context. The research was carried out in three education centers in Barcelona and its metropolitan area and involved 59 diverse young people from 14 to 18 years old with different gender identifications. Our results point to three main dimensions: 1) the trivialization of violence and the creation of men spaces; 2) the gender differences involved in practicing sexting and preventing sexpreading; and 3) the consequences of sexpreading experienced by young people, including roles of intermediaries and responsibilities associated with them. We provide empirical and ethnographical support for the idea that merging sexting and sexpreading is problematic, especially for educational interventions, as it can detrimentally generalize issues and negatively impact adolescent sexualities, in particular those of girls and women. We believe that it is very important to incorporate discussions about sexting and sexpreading practices into educational contexts and to consider the high degree of media skills young women already have for a pedagogy of sexting and a community intervention against sexpreading.
- ArticleInstitutional communication in higher music education institutions: a comparative study between Spain and the internactional context(Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2025) Urpí-Cámara, Montserrat; Guallar, Javier; Rey Martín, CarinaThis article analyses the management of institutional communication in Spanish higher music education institutions, comparing it with leading international institutions. Its objective is to identify differences and similarities in the structure, resources, strategies, and functions of communication departments to detect areas for improvement and propose recommendations to optimise their impact and institutional projection. The research adopts a quantitative approach based on an online questionnaire completed by 40 national and international institutions.The questionnaire comprises 38 closed and open-ended questions, addressing the composition of communication departments, their objectives, the channels employed, strategic planning, and performance evaluation. These data are compared to identify trends and divergences in communication management. The findings reveal significant differences: international institutions have more structured departments, specialised teams, and greater investment in communication, whereas Spanish institutions exhibit a lower degree of strategic planning and resource limitations. International institutions prioritise reputation management, international projection, and impact assessment, while Spanish centres focus primarily on student recruitment and the dissemination of activities. Furthermore, international institutions diversify their communication channels and employ advanced analytical tools, whereas a more traditional approach prevails in Spain. This study provides a novel comparative perspective on institutional communication in higher music academic institutions, a field that remains largely unexplored in academic literature.
- ArticleA practice already in use: a snapshot survey on the use of doxycycline as a preventive strategy (Doxy-PEP and Doxy-PrEP) in the GBMSM population in Spain(Springer Verlag, 2024-06-08) Villanueva Baselga, Sergio; Mora, Rubén; Villegas, LuisPurpose While doxycycline shows promise as a preventative measure against certain STIs (post-exposure prophylaxis or PEP, and pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP), very few medical and scientific associations favor its community use. Nevertheless, sexual health organizations for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) community have noticed an increase in requests of its use. MethodsThe sexual health organization “Stop Sida” in Spain launched an anonymous snapshot survey to evaluate the current use of doxycycline as prevention strategy (both PEP and PrEP) in Spain through its social networks and its support groups in telegram. Results150 valid answers were obtained from different parts of Spain. 82 respondents (54,6% of total) had ever taken doxycycline, out of which 29 (35,4%) indicated the use as doxy-PEP and 7 (8,5%) as doxy-PrEP. The self-reported rate of STI diagnoses (mainly of syphilis and chlamydia) in the past 12 months was lower among those participants who reported having used doxy-PEP compared with those who did not report using doxy-PEP. The most common ways to obtain the doxycycline were telling a specialist that they have had a risky contact or by using leftover pills from a previous treatment. ConclusionThe current study is the first study to describe the use of doxycycline as a preventive strategy among the GBMSM community in Spain, and the first designed, launched and analyzed entirely by an NGO dealing with sexual health for the GBMSM community. The results obtained are aligned with other studies in other parts of Europe, such as Germany
- ArticleCuerpos desorientados: propiocepción queer en Las mil y una (2020) de Clarisa Navas(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2025-07-03) Mourenza, Daniel; Battaglia, Diana[spa] Este artículo analiza la película argentina Las mil y una (2020) de Clarisa Navas desde la fenomenología queer de Sara Ahmed y la teoría cinematográfica fenomenológica, una corriente crítica que ha marcado el giro corporal en los estudios cinematográficos. A partir de estas teorías, se lee la desorientación de los personajes queer de la película como una manera alternativa de habitar el espacio, una manera «oblicua» y «desorientada» que no se adecua a un espacio que está preparado para la gente «recta». El artículo introduce el concepto de «propiocepción queer» para analizar el deambular de los cuerpos disidentes de esta película, que no logran alinearse con una posición horizontal ni con una vertical, así como la manera en la que esta desviación de la normatividad se transmite sensorial y corporalmente a les espectadores. Finalmente, se argumenta que esta película, aunque a ratos parece pertenecer a una u otra de las tendencias que Gonzalo Aguilar encontró en el Nuevo Cine Argentino, la sedentaria y la nómada, acaba por no alinearse con ninguna. De esta manera, Las mil y una expresa corporalmente una manera oblicua de estar en el mundo, que la audiencia encarna propioceptivamente en su propio cuerpo.
- ArticleA Call to Action: Seven recommendations to boost public engagement and decision-making on climate change(Copernicus Publications, 2025) Molina, Tomàs, 1963-; Abadal, ErnestDespite the Paris Agreement’s ambitious targets, global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and implement climate adaptation measures are insufficient. This paper argues that effective public engagement and informed decision-making are critical to closing the gap between current practices and necessary actions. We identify key communication challenges that impede climate action and propose seven recommendations to strengthen public understanding and empower decision-makers. Through a multi-level study that examines the perspectives of science communicators, policymakers, and IPCC contributors, we highlight strategies for effective communication, the need for optimism in messaging, and the importance of education and grassroots actions. We advocate for an adaptation-first approach to catalyze mitigation efforts and promote a coordinated communication strategy to counter misinformation and drive climate action.
- ArticleDiscurso tributario: hacia la claridad de la notificación de providencia de apremio(Ediciones Profesionales de la Información, 2025-03-08) Bayés Gil, Marc; García Asensio, Ma. Ángeles (María Ángeles); Franganillo, JorgeEste estudio analiza las opiniones de 82 contribuyentes sobre dos versiones de una misma plantilla de documento tributario (notificación de providencia de apremio): la versión original, actualmente en uso en más de 4.500 municipios españoles, y una versión clarificada, desarrollada por un equipo interdisciplinar de especialistas en comunicación clara. El objetivo del estudio es evaluar y mejorar la versión clarificada, dado que la original se considera poco comprensible para el ciudadano medio. Para ello, se ha recurrido a un test de percepción de claridad y a un cuestionario de comprensión previamente validados. Los resultados indican que la versión clarificada se percibe y se comprende mejor, aunque con margen de mejora en algunos aspectos.
- ArticleThe impact of gambling advertising on gambling severity: a path analysis of factors of psychological distress in individuals with gambling disorder(Frontiers Media SA, 2025-03-14) López Gonzàlez, Hibai; Granero, Roser; Fernández Aranda, Fernando; Griffiths, Mark D.; Jiménez-Murcia, SusanaBackground There is a consensus in the literature that gambling advertising disproportionately affects those experiencing higher gambling severity. However, the relationship of gambling advertising and severity is typically assessed among samples recruited from online panels using screening tools as the method to categorize the gambling severity status of participants. Alternatively, other studies use small groups of gamblers (i.e., qualitative studies). The present paper reports findings from a sample of gamblers diagnosed with gambling disorder by professional clinicians via individual interviews. The study investigated the association between gambling advertising and gambling severity by looking at other psychologically relevant variables such as impulsivity, emotion regulation, and general psychopathology.Methods A sample of 210 consecutive treatment-seeking patients was recruited from a public hospital from June 2019 to January 2021. A path analysis model was run to determine the relationship between the variables. Gambling advertising was constructed as a latent variable, comprising the perceived impact of gambling advertising, persuasion knowledge, and the attitudes towards gambling advertising.Results Gamblers with greater gambling severity reported higher perceived impact of gambling advertising, and more positive attitudes toward gambling advertising. Gambling advertising was a mediator in the paths between emotion regulation and gambling severity, and between impulsivity and gambling severity.Conclusion The study demonstrates among individuals with verified gambling disorder that there is a relationship between gambling advertising and gambling severity. Regulators have an empirical basis on which to restrict the exposure to gambling advertising of vulnerable groups.
- ArticleA simplemodel for the self-assessment of digital preservationstrategies in institutional repositories(Springer, 2025-05-29) Barrueco, José Manuel; Térmens i Graells, MiquelInstitutional repositories (IR) are essential infrastructures for the open science ecosystem. They hold an increasing amount of digital assets that must be preserved for future use. There is a lack of evidence, in the published literature, of the extentto which they are fulfilling such a crucial function. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new self-assessment tool to allow a diagnosis of the degree of application of digital preservation strategies by repository managers. We have identified the available international standards in the area of digital preservation. Secondly, we have selected which one of them is the most appropriate choice to be applied to IR taking into account their particular characteristics and current situation. Finally,we describe the steps followed to develop a self-assessment questionnaire, founded on the chosen standards. The main result of this paper is a self-assessment questionnaire to be used by repository managers to asset their level of implementation of digital preservation strategies. It is made up of 46 indicators to evaluate five areas of action in the repository. The questionnaire includes the application notes required to work out the results. Repositories must guarantee the long-term availability of the digital contents they hold. This paper provides a model for the self-assessment of digital preservation activities. It is intended to be a simple and useful tool for repository managers in identifying best practices, strengths and improvement areas.
- ArticleEl discurso reproducido como indicador del pluralismo interno de los medios de comunicación: el caso de los telediarios de TVE y TV3(Universidad de La Laguna, 2018-05-25) García Asensio, Ma. Ángeles (María Ángeles); Aguilar Paredes, Carlos; Jiménez Iglesias, Lucía; Ruiz Moreno, Cristina; Sánchez Gómez, Lydia.Introducción: El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la incidencia del discurso reproducido en el tratamiento de la información política de los telediarios para estudiar su relevancia como indicador del grado de pluralismo interno. Metodología: Se realiza un análisis lingüístico y discursivo de las noticias políticas emitidas por dos televisiones públicas (TVE1 y TV3) en periodo preelectoral, y se compara el acceso a la narración periodística de voces representativas de la actividad política. A través de una metodología cuantitativa-cualitativa, secuencial y anidada se analiza el uso del discurso reproducido para representar las voces de los actores políticos. Resultados: Los resultados muestran desviaciones en la construcción de la imagen de los actores políticos y en la reproducción de sus discursos públicos. Discusión y Conclusiones: Se hace necesario incorporar el discurso reproducido como indicador de la calidad democrática del medio.
- ArticleRadical Republicanism. Democracy, Property and Rights(Berghahn Books, 2022-06-01) Guerrero Martín, David; Laín Escandell, Bru; Popp-Madsen, BenjaminOver the last two decades republican thought has attracted a growing interest from political, moral and legal scholars. These contemporary theoretical syntheses of ‘neo-republican’ thought have been closely related to intellectual history and the idea of recovering an overshadowed tradition of political thought. In this vein, a classical set of historical moments and places (e.g., ancient Rome, renaissance Italy, civil-war England or revolutionary America among others) and specific political practices within those contexts appear to be the main source of what republicanism meant – and what it could mean today
- ArticleTime management profiles of college students and its relationship to sociodemographic and psychological factors(Emerald Publishing, 2024-11-27) Faure Carvallo, Adrien; Nieto-Fernández, Sergio; Calderón Garrido, Caterina; Gustems Carnicer, JosepPurpose: The objectives of this research are to analyze the sociodemographic and personality profiles most related to good academic time management among 845 students from different faculties at the University de Barcelona (UB) and to identify the explanatory factors of effective academic time management. Design/methodology/approach: Poor time management is a common behavior among university students and an explanatory factor for academic failure. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Procrastination Assessment Scale-Student (PASS), the Academic Time Management (ATM), the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18) and the Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10) were administered. Findings: The results reveal that female students, education majors and those with high academic performance show better time management than the rest of the student body. Additionally, students who have better academic time management are also more neurotic, more open to experience, more responsible and less prone to procrastination. The factors established as explanatory of good academic time management are neuroticism, openness to experience and low procrastination. Originality/value: The implications of the results for promoting academic time management in university studies through specific actions are discussed.
- ArticleGambling-like features in fan tokens(Springer Verlag, 2023) Lopez-Gonzalez, Hibai; Griffiths, M.D.Fan tokens are a form of cryptocurrency that allow owners to participate in various fanrelated experiences such as voting on the music to be played during half-time breaks in sporting events. Since 2020, many elite sport teams have issued fan tokens, allegedly as a way to engage with fans and hear their voice. However, fan tokens also raise some concerns. They are largely gamified digital items that intend to keep fans within the providers’ app. Also, they can be traded in exchange platforms, which arguably transform them into collectibles, whose value can vary over time. Here, we explore fan tokens through a case study from a football (soccer) club (i.e., an F.C. Barcelona fan token). Drawing on literature from situational and structural characteristics of gambling, we analyse the gamblinglike features that fan tokens include in their product design. Such features are discussed from a public health perspective, comparing what they mean in gambling contexts and how potentially harmful they could be for fan token holders.
- ArticleUniversities, heritage, and non-museum institutions: a methodological proposal for sustainable documentation(Springer, 2023-10-27) Salse, Marina; Guallar, Javier; Jornet i Benito, Núria; Mateo Bretos, Maria Pilar; Silvestre-Canut, Josep OriolTo provide a sustainable methodology for documenting the small (and underfunded) but often important university heritage collections. The sequence proposed by the DBLC (Database Life Cycle) (Coronel and Morris, Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management. Cengage Learning, Boston, 2018; Oppel Databases a beginner’s guide. McGraw-Hill, New York, 2009) is followed, focusing on the database design phase. The resulting proposals aim at harmonising the different documentation tools developed by GLAM institutions (acronym that aims to highlight the common aspects of Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums), all of which are present in the university environment. The work phases are based mainly on the work of Valle, Fernández Cacho, and Arenillas (Muñoz Cruz et al. Introducción a la documentación del patrimonio cultural. Consejería de Cultura de la Junta de Andalucía, Seville, 2017), combined with the experience acquired from the creation of the virtual museum at our institution. The creation of a working team that includes university staff members is recommended because we believe that universities have sufficient power to manage their own heritage. For documentation, we recommend the use of application profiles that consider the new trends in semantic web and LOD (Linked Open Data) and that are created using structural interchange standards such as Dublin Core, LIDO, or Darwin Core, which should be combined with content and value standards adapted from the GLAM area. The application of the methodology described above will make it possible to obtain quality metadata in a sustainable way given the limited resources of university collections. A proposed metadata schema is provided as an annex.
- ArticleLa claridad como derecho: la aportación de la norma ISO 24495-1 hacia el lenguaje claro(ThinkEpi, 2024-06-05) Franganillo, Jorge; García Asensio, Ma. Ángeles (María Ángeles)En julio de 2023, el comité ISO/TC 37 de la Organización Internacional de Normalización (ISO) culminó años de esfuerzos colaborativos al publicar la norma ISO 24495-1 de lenguaje claro.

Aplicable a la mayoría de los idiomas escritos, la norma incorpora los hallazgos más recientes en investigación sobre lenguaje claro y la práctica acumulada de expertos en la materia.
- ArticleArticle processing charges for open access journal publishing: a review(Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), 2023) Borrego, Àngel (Borrego Huerta)Some open access (OA) publishers charge authors fees to make their articles freely available online. This paper reviews literature on article processing charges (APCs) that has been published since 2000. Despite praise for diamond OA journals, which charge no fees, most OA articles are published by commercial publishers that charge APCs. Publishers fix APCs depending on the reputation assigned to journals by peers. Evidence shows a relationship between high impact metrics and higher, faster rising APCs. Authors express reluctance about APCs, although this varies by discipline depending on previous experience of paying publication fees and the availability of research grants to cover them. Authors rely on a mix of research grants, library funds and personal assets to pay the charges. Two major concerns have been raised in relation to APCs: the inability of poorly funded authors to publish research and their impact on journal quality. Waivers have not solved the first issue. Research shows little extension of waiver use, unintended side effects on co-author networks and concerns regarding criteria to qualify for them. Bibliometric studies concur that journals that charge APCs have a similar citation impact to journals that rely on other income sources.
- ArticleDelivery riders' cultural production in Spain: A thematic analysis of their self-representation on YouTube(SAGE Publications, 2023-03-28) Pires, Fernanda; Tomasena, José Miguel; Pina, MartinaThis study analyses YouTube videos about delivery riders in Spain as well as the channels in which the videos were uploaded. The aim is to understand the ways that riders are represented in the videos and determine the labour imaginaries that emerge in the context of platformization, which includes work that depends on platforms that use computer architecture and automation systems to arrange exchanges between people, goods, and corporations, such as the work of delivery riders. This article shows how platformization of labour intersects with cultural production because delivery riders’ work has become a video theme in the YouTube platform. Moreover, in some cases riders (or aspiring ones) use YouTube and other social media to interact, share knowledge and organize their job. Based on a thematic analysis of delivery riders' YouTube videos (n = 40) from 26 channels mined with YouTube Data Tools, this study presents a typology of channels in which riders appear. It also categorizes the main representations of riders as well as the imaginaries that emerge about this type of labour in YouTube videos. The analysis indicates that delivery riders’ work has a transitory nature, which is expressed in the analysed videos. Moreover, the study demonstrates that immigrants are the people who tend to do this type of work in Spain, and shows how being an immigrant plays a particular role in the way riders are represented or gain their social conceptions and aspirations about this kind of work.
