Mada Carreño y Ediciones Xóchitl: un caso de edición femenina en el exilio
(Universidad Veracruzana, 2026-09-01) Agustí, Lluís
Al final de la guerra civil española, cerca de 20.000 republicanos fueron acogidos en México por el gobierno del presidente Lázaro Cárdenas. Algunos de estos refugiados crearon más de un centenar de editoriales en la Ciudad de México. Una de ellas, Ediciones Xóchitl (1941-1948), destaca por contar con una mujer en el grupo fundador del proyecto, Mada Carreño, lo que la convierte en un caso singular dentro de la historia de la edición del exilio, mayoritariamente masculina. Carreño fundó Ediciones Xóchitl junto con Eduardo de Ontañón y el mexicano Joaquín Ramírez Cabañas. Ediciones Xóchitl se inspiró en modelos editoriales españoles, aunque sus colecciones se centraron fundamentalmente en temas históricos y culturales mexicanos. El papel de Carreño ha sido escasamente estudiado, lo que pone de manifiesto las limitaciones de la historiografía editorial para incorporar trayectorias femeninas y sitúa este trabajo como punto de partida para el análisis de la obra cultural de Mada Carreño.
Las bibliotecas de prisión en España: una propuesta de mejora de la gestión y el aprovechamiento de los recursos
(ANABAD, 2004) Sulé, Andreu; Pérez Pulido, Margarita
Las personas que se encuentran recluidas en centros penitenciarios es uno de los colectivos con un mayor riesgo de exclusión cultural e informacional, no sólo por el hecho de haber sido apartadas durante un período más o menos largo de la sociedad libre, sino también porque acostumbran a responder a un perfil dominado por un alto grado de analfabetismo (total o funcional). Es por ello que es en estos entornos donde los objetivos establecidos por las Directrices IFLA/UNESCO para bibliotecas públicas (de las cuales la biblioteca de prisión sería su extensión en los centros penitenciarios) adquieren un mayor sentido y relevancia: promover la educación, el acceso a la información y el crecimiento personal como forma de garantizar el desarrollo y el mantenimiento de una sociedad democrática. En España, actualmente, la gestión de las bibliotecas de prisión depende de la Dirección General de Instituciones Penitenciarias del Ministerio del Interior, excepto en el caso de Cataluña que, desde el año 1983, tiene transferida la ejecución de la legislación estatal en materia penitenciaria. Este hecho ha dado lugar, a lo largo de los años, al desarrollo de formas de organización y gestión diferenciadas producto, en muchos casos, de la mayor o menor consolidación del sistema de lectura pública autonómico. A partir de esta constatación, el trabajo pretende llevar a cabo un análisis comparativo del modelo de gestión de las bibliotecas de prisión en Cataluña y en el resto del estado español con el objetivo de elaborar una propuesta de actuación de ámbito estatal que combine las mejores formas de organización y gestión detectadas en cada uno de los dos casos. El estudio se centra en cuatro de los pilares en que se basa el funcionamiento de cualquier biblioteca de prisión: el sistema de financiación, los recursos humanos, los convenios de colaboración con instituciones externas (especialmente, con las bibliotecas públicas) y la normativa de funcionamiento interno.
Aplicación del modelo de datos RDF en las colecciones digitales de bibliotecas, archivos y museos de España
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2016-02-29) Sulé, Andreu; Centelles Velilla, Miquel; Franganillo, Jorge; Gascón García, Jesús
Se analiza cómo y en qué grado se aplica el modelo RDF en las principales colecciones digitales españolas de materiales patrimoniales. Se introduce este modelo y también las iniciativas de Datos Abiertos y Datos Enlazados. A continuación se examinan 51 repositorios digitales y de cada uno de ellos se determina si expresan sus registros en RDF, ofrecen un punto de consulta SPARQL consultable por agentes externos y si usan referencias como valor de las propiedades. A partir de los resultados se describen los modelos EDM de Europeana y OntoWeb. Se concluye que la aplicación de RDF es desigual, demasiado condicionada al uso de aplicaciones que convierten automáticamente los registros en tripletas RDF, que se dan pocos puntos SPARQL para la consulta externa y que el empleo de referencias se vincula al uso de aplicaciones con diferentes modelos: EDM u OntoWeb. Se recomienda que las colecciones han de enriquecer sus datos y determinar niveles de agregación de los datos RDF generados para difundirse, hacerse accesibles y adaptarse a la web semántica.
Gender inclusion in Library and Information Science curricula
(University of Toronto Press, 2026-04-24) Ferran Ferrer, Núria; Centelles, Miquel; Miller, Michael David
This paper examines the incorporation of gender perspectives and sexual diversity into Library and Information Science (LIS) curricula, from a global perspective, addressing the broader themes of social justice, equity, and inclusion in education. Drawing on critical and feminist pedagogical theories, this study challenges conventional educational models and advocates for a more transformative learning experience. A content analysis of course syllabi from 50 top-ranked universities in the field, focusing on how gender and sexual diversity are introduced in course objectives, content, evaluation methods, teaching strategies and learning resources. The results reveal that while some progress has been made, mandatory courses addressing diversity, particularly in the areas of gender and sexual orientation, remain limited in LIS programs. Successful courses, identified in our research, emphasized intersectionality, student-led learning, and the critical examination of power structures within information systems. Despite growing awareness, gaps in the curriculum highlight the need for a more systemic integration of feminist and queer perspectives to foster inclusive educational environments. The findings suggest that LIS educators must continually revise and update curricula to reflect the diversity of their student bodies, incorporating reflective practices and promoting equitable access to knowledge. The implications for LIS educators emphasize the need for proactive efforts in integrating gender and diversity themes to prepare future professionals for addressing systemic inequalities. In conclusion, enhancing overall teaching quality through the integration of gender and diversity themes is crucial for preparing future professionals to address systemic inequalities.
Migración femenina en la frontera México-Estados Unidos: resistencia, violencia de género e identidad híbrida
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), 2026-09-01) Martínez de la Rosa, Georgina; Boté-Vericad, Juan-José
El artículo analiza la migración de mujeres en la frontera México-Estados Unidos, un espacio geográfico y simbólico, donde emergen dinámicas de resistencia y agencia política y donde la migración, más allá del desplazamiento físico, se ve como una rebelión contra normas culturales que relegan a las mujeres a roles domésticos y las someten a violencias estructurales. De esta manera, este texto entiende la migración como una transgresión al orden patriarcal. A partir de una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre el tema, se seleccionaron diecisiete artículos relevantes para analizar la violencia de género hacia estas mujeres. Los resultados muestran que enfrentan discriminación y exclusión, sin embargo, ellas han podido redefinir su identidad y pertenencia, transformando su experiencia migratoria en formas de resistencia. Además, el cruce fronterizo genera nuevas redes de sororidad, mientras que el lenguaje, el espacio y la cultura actúan como herramientas para desafiar barreras. La identidad híbrida emerge como un acto de empoderamiento frente a la opresión.
Visibilidad web y datos estructurados: análisis del uso de Schema.org en sitios web de medios de comunicación digital
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2026-09-09) Lopezosa, Carlos; Alcaraz Martínez, Rubén; Vállez, Mari, 1968-; Centelles, Miquel
Este artículo analiza el uso del vocabulario Schema.org como herramienta de SEO semántico en 33 medios de comunicación digitales de España, Reino Unido y Estados Unidos. El objetivo principal es identificar las clases más utilizadas, evaluar la calidad del marcado semántico y proponer buenas prácticas para su implementación. Mediante un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo basado en 160.000 páginas web y herramientas de rastreo automatizado, se constata un uso generalizado pero desigual de Schema.org. Los medios españoles destacan por su diversidad y riqueza semántica, mientras que los estadounidenses muestran una implementación más limitada. Los resultados evidencian una correlación entre el uso estratégico de datos estructurados y una mayor visibilidad en buscadores, aunque también se detectan errores significativos en el marcado. Se concluye que una implementación cuidadosa y diversificada de Schema.org puede mejorar notablemente la presencia digital de los medios, especialmente en entornos informativos altamente competitivos.

The research also contrasts the quality of newsletters from the NYT with those from other sources. In summary, this study illuminates the dynamic terrain of curated newsletters and their influence on reader engagement and retention.
Disinterest, normalisation of gender violence and fear of being cancelled: Mediatised learning on antifeminist and anti-LGBTIQ+ discourses among teenagers in Barcelona
(SAGE Publications, 2024-08-13) Iñigo, Anna; Fernández, Laura; Tomasena, José Miguel
This article examines the proliferation of antifeminist and anti-LGBTIQ+ discourses among teenagers in Barcelona (Catalonia) and the role of media and the manosphere – online communities and spaces where discussions about masculinity, anti-feminism, gender relations and men's issues take place – on the pollination of these discourses. Through short-term ethnography conducted in three education centres, involving the collaboration of 59 teenagers between 14 and 18 years old, the study researches the discourses that young people embrace, what mediatised environments are referring to when they speak about gender, feminism and LGBTIQ+ topics, and the meaning young people give to these media content. Findings reveal the manosphere facilitates young people's access to masculinist cultures and point to the urge of addressing the affective dimension of it. To conclude, it highlights the need to challenge these informal learning spaces within contemporary youth culture to promote gender equality and social justice
Thematic analysis of interview data with ChatGPT: designing and testing a reliable research protocol for qualitative research
(Springer Verlag, 2025-06-20) Goyanes, Manuel; Lopezosa, Carlos; Jordá, Beatriz
In recent years, artificial intelligence has developed into a powerful tool for processing and generating human-like texts, unlocking innovative possibilities for quantitative and qualitative data analysis. Within qualitative research, artificial intelligence in general, and ChatGPT in particular, represent promising avenues to explore and examine textual transcriptions from interview data. This study is a step forward in this direction, advancing a reliable research protocol for using ChatGPT to conduct thematic analysis, which includes the following standard steps: (1) data preparation, (2) defining the analysis process, (3) chatbot interaction, (4) iterative process, (5) review and validation, and (6) analysis and interpretation. Results of the analysis revealed that ChatGPT may significantly facilitate qualitative data analysis exploration, especially during initial research stages and when dealing with extensive transcription material. Additionally, our protocol design is able to reliably identify different thematic patterns emerging from the text, although the granularity of the output may vary depending on the quality of the prompt and human intelligence interpretation. Accordingly, we conclude that despite its vast power, the ChatGPT model in its current state is unable to substitute the contextual insights and subtle metaphorical nuances associated with human qualitative analysis, interpretation and reflexivity.
Mapping the Impact of Generative AI on Disinformation: Insights from a Scoping Review
(MDPI, 2025-07-21) López-Borrull, Alexandre; Lopezosa, Carlos
This article presents a scoping review of the academic literature published between 2021 and 2024 on the intersection of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and disinformation. Drawing from 64 peer-reviewed studies, the review examines the current research landscape and identifies six key thematic areas: political misinformation and propaganda; scientific disinformation; fact-checking; journalism and the media; media literacy and education; and deepfakes. The findings reveal that generative AI plays a dual role: it enables the rapid creation and targeted dissemination of synthetic content but also offers new opportunities for detection, verification, and public education. Beyond summarizing research trends, this review highlights the broader societal and practical implications of generative AI in the context of information disorder. It outlines how AI tools are already reshaping journalism, challenging scientific communication, and transforming strategies for media literacy and fact-checking. The analysis also identifies key policy and governance challenges, particularly the need for coordinated responses from governments, platforms, educators, and civil society actors. By offering a structured overview of the field, the article enhances our understanding of how generative AI can both exacerbate and help mitigate disinformation, and proposes directions for research, regulation, and public engagement.
Research data management practices and perspectives among Catalan archaeologists : A qualitative approach
(Emerald Publishing, 2026-12-14) Batlle Baró, Sabina
Purpose The aim of this paper is to study the data management practices and perspectives of archaeological researchers in the Spanish region of Catalonia. Data management is becoming increasingly challenging for archaeological research as the data grow in volume and complexity. As a result, it is also a crucial issue and a priority for the discipline. Design/methodology/approach The data have been collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with Principal Investigators of archaeological research projects at Catalan research institutions (n = 14), analysed using a qualitative content analysis method with a mixed coding framework developed mostly with themes identified in the literature. Findings The findings show that current practices are based on a sensible DIY approach. The resulting systems work well for the projects’ data needs but are far from the best practices. A general lack of data literacy is evident from the answers of the interviewees and the practices described. Finally, the role of intervention reports is considered crucial, not only for knowledge creation and communication but also as data backups. Originality/value Few studies have been conducted on archaeology researchers’ data management practices, and even fewer have used interviews as a methodological approach. The focus of this analysis sheds light on the current situation of a clearly defined but insufficiently researched community of practice (archaeology researchers in Catalonia), and therefore assess its needs, challenges and future prospects.
Sex in the Plural: A Scoping Review on Group Sex Cultures and Sexual Health in the Biomedical Era
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2026-06-24) Villanueva Baselga, Sergio
Group sex, understood as sexual encounters involving three or more participants, constitutes an important yet understudied dimension of contemporary sexual life. Although frequently examined in relation to HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or chemsex, group sex is rarely treated as a social and sexual phenomenon in its own right. Moreover, the widespread adoption of biomedical HIV prevention strategies, particularly pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), has transformed how sexual risk, intimacy, and responsibility are negotiated in collective sexual contexts. This scoping review synthesizes peer-reviewed literature published between 2011 and 2025 that examines group sex cultures and sexual health across populations, settings, and methodological approaches. The review maps dominant conceptual frameworks, study designs, and health outcomes, with particular attention to differences between gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) and non-GBMSM populations and to shifts associated with the biomedical era. Findings reveal a fragmented literature dominated by cross-sectional quantitative studies focused on GBMSM populations, while qualitative research offers richer accounts of pleasure, negotiation, and care. Across studies, group sex environments function as socially organized spaces governed by norms, infrastructures, and collective risk-management practices. While biomedical prevention has reduced HIV-related anxiety and expanded sexual possibility, bacterial STIs, stigma, and selective disclosure in healthcare settings persist. The review highlights recurring contradictions between epidemiological framings and participants’ lived experiences and argues for treating sex in the plural as a necessary analytic shift. Future research would benefit from longitudinal, event-level, and ethnographic approaches that better capture the relational and collective dimensions of sexual health.
Partial Stories and Collective Creativity in Class: A Case of Story Prototyping With an Open-Ended Storytelling BoardGame for Higher Education Students
(John Wiley & Sons, 2026-06-29) Roig-Telo, Antoni; Anglada-Pujol, Ona; Tomasena, José Miguel
The aim of this paper is to discuss the potentialities of open-ended board games for story generation in educational contexts. We have analysed story prototypes created through D-Stories, a collective storytelling game designed for this project. The research was carried out between 2023 and 2025 in Barcelona in two different higher education contexts. In D-Stories, story cards, organized in basic typologies that prompt potential interrelations, are turned into a story prototype through playful collaboration and improvisation and iteration. Thus, cards and connections shift through chance, individual and collective choice. Using the notion of partial stories, which allows us to analyse cards as self-contained but connectible story elements, we carried out a content analysis of 54 stories, looking for narrative strategies (RQ1), how card contents were turned into narratives (RQ2), the most popular cards (RQ3) and the most frequent connections favoured by game design (RQ4). Even if conventional narrative strategies were predominant, there were some alternative approaches to storytelling and emerging intertextual connections, social imaginaries and even stereotypes. The spaces of possibilities opened by open-ended storytelling games are powerful tools for creative literacies in different educational settings and levels.
From experimentation to integration: Mapping AI use across European media and communication professionals
(SAGE Publications, 2026-02-20) Contreras-Espinosa, Ruth Sofia; Salvador Mata, Bertran; Arciniega Cáceres, Mittzy; Scolari, Carlos Alberto
This study, one of the first cross-national and cross-professional approaches, maps Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption and perceptions through a survey of 797 professionals in eight countries (Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, Norway, and Denmark) spanning six fields including journalism, marketing, audiovisual, public relations, graphic design, and communication education. Experimentation is widespread (88%), yet workflow integration remains uneven. Adoption is strongest among younger professionals, and sectoral differences are detected: marketing reports higher adoption, whereas journalists and educators report the lowest usage. ChatGPT dominates (77%), followed by Canva (38%), and DALL·E and MidJourney (27%). Frequency of use and self-assessed preparedness lag behind positive attitudes. National patterns also diverge, reflecting cultural, regulatory, and market factors.

Integrating Gender and Intersectionality in LIS Education: A Narrative Review of Innovative Curricular Approaches
(Western University Libraries, 2026-04-07) Boté-Vericad, Juan-José; Mandl, Thomas; Petr Balog, Kornelija; Cupar, Drahomira; Dombrovská, Michaela; Dreisiebner, Stefan; Khattab, Džejla
Gender and intersectionality remain underrepresented in Library and Information Science (LIS) education, where related content is frequently peripheral, elective in nature, or left to individual staff initiative. This paper presents a narrative review of international studies on gender inclusion in LIS curricula and pedagogy. We reviewed a final sample of 42 sources and synthesised them thematically. The analysis is guided by intersectionality, feminist pedagogy, and a critical curriculum stance, foregrounding how power operates through what curricula include, omit, and assess. Across contexts, literature identifies persistent structural gaps: explicit gender or diversity learning outcomes are rare in core modules; inclusive‑language commitments are uneven; teaching materials and bibliographies often reproduce androcentric and Eurocentric canons; and evaluation mechanisms remain limited. Inclusion is also commonly confined to electives or isolated staff initiatives. Faculty frequently report limited training, time, and institutional support to teach gender‑related content with confidence, and studies highlight a disconnect between equity scholarship and its translation into classroom practice, as well as diluted or performative uses of intersectionality. Addressing two research questions, the review examines (1) the extent and forms of gender and intersectionality integration in LIS curriculum design, pedagogy, and institutional mechanisms, and (2) the barriers, enablers, and promising approaches for achieving structural embedding. Participatory action research, co‑created syllabi, and community‑linked learning projects emerge as promising but unevenly implemented strategies. The review recommends embedding gender through assessed learning outcomes, resourced staff development, and periodic curriculum audits. Sustainable change requires shared institutional accountability and reflexive, justice‑oriented pedagogical practice in LIS education.
Cura de continguts en una biblioteca universitària: estudi de cas de la divulgació científica en geologia i ciències marines amb els butlletins Tellus i Nereus
(Universitat de Barcelona, 2024-12) Casadellà, Jordi, 1961-; Casanueva, Daniel; Guallar, Javier
The article aims to analyze the content curation process and the impact of Tellus and Nereus newsletters on subscribers. These newsletters, focusing on geology and ocean sciences, disseminate curated news to keep readers informed about scientific developments. The study seeks to establish metrics for accurately measuring subscriber interest and satisfaction. A key challenge is the lack of specificity and standardized metrics for such specialized newsletters. To achieve these objectives, this study employs the case study methodology. The evolution of the newsletters is analyzed based on data extracted from email marketing platforms. Additionally, participant observation is used to examine key aspects such as platforms used, the curation system, information sources, topics covered, and the developed metrics system. Findings reveal stable open and click rates over time, indicating that subscribers maintain consistent expectations of interest regardless of the specific content. Additionally, subscribers are classified into 16 categories based on interaction habits, providing valuable insights into reader behavior. These classifications and metrics are essential for understanding the audience and measuring the newsletters’ impact and success. The study highlights the importance of continuous adaptation to new technologies, the value of specialized information for a diverse audience, the relevance of email as a communication channel, and the development of own metrics focused on user satisfaction. These contributions can be applied to other libraries and scientific dissemination newsletters.
Breaking expectations through personal experiences! Young people reflecting and learning about sexualities and gender through porn: an ethnographic study in Barcelona
(SAGE Publications, 2025-06-13) Masanet, Maria-Jose; Fernández, Laura; Villanueva Baselga, Sergio
Porn studies have a long tradition of researching porn as a cultural artifact in relation to adult audiences. Recently, there has been increasing interest in young people’s uses and perceptions of porn since there is a general concern about its possible harms and dangers. This article aims to shed light on these issues through an ethnographic study carried out in Barcelona and its metropolitan area. Our main objective is to understand how teenagers and young people use, experience, and give meaning to the porn content they consume. We applied a bottom-up approach that brings the real and everyday experiences of young people to the discussion. The results focus on three areas: the spatial, temporal, and media context in which young people approach porn; their own interpretations of pornographic content, considering gender differences; and the double preventive and educational view young people extract from porn.
Information-seeking and content creation: The impact of YouTube educational videos on learning practices in library and information science
(SAGE Publications, 2026-03-02) Boté-Vericad, Juan-José
This study examines the information behaviour of university professors and students in higher education, specifically within Library and Information Science, from Europe and Latin American countries, as they search for, utilize, and create educational content on YouTube. The research aims to shed light on the evolving role of educational videos in academic settings and their impact on digital literacy. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 63 participants, including 21 video creators and 42 professors and students.The findings reveal diverse motivations for creating and consuming educational videos, highlighting YouTube’s dual function as both a supplementary learning resource for students and a tool for pedagogical enhancement for professors. The study identifies significant preferences for content produced by established university professors, emphasizing the importance of authority and credibility in digital education. Additionally, linguistic challenges, such as the scarcity of content in minority languages and the need for accurate subtitles, emerged as critical factors influencing video consumption and comprehension.This research contributes to the field of librarianship and information science by exploring how digital platforms like YouTube are transforming traditional educational practices and information-seeking behaviours. The insights provided are valuable for librarians, educators, and information professionals who must navigate the complexities of digital content creation and curation in academic environments. The study also suggests future research directions, including the integration of emerging technologies such as virtual reality into educational videos and further exploration of the impact of digital media on academic performance.
Exploring the role of national weather services in climate change knowledge and communication: an international survey
(Springer, 2024-10-11) Molina, Tomàs, 1963-; Abadal, Ernest
This study investigates the roles, perspectives, and communication strategies of National Meteorological Services (NMS) concerning climate monitoring, climate change projections, and the attribution of meteorological phenomena to climate variations. Using a survey distributed to 131 of the 193 National Meteorological Services affiliated with the World Meteorological Organization, we explore how these entities contribute to and communicate about the science of climate change. The survey targeted their involvement in observing and recording climate data, making climate projections, attributing specific weather events to climate change, and their methods of communicating these issues to the public and government officials. Responses were received from 44 countries, reflecting diverse levels of economic development and capabilities in handling, and disseminating complex climate information. The results show a strong engagement in traditional meteorological tasks, with a varied approach to the scientific study of climate change effects and public communication strategies. This study highlights the critical role of NMS in climate change research and underscores the challenges they face in effectively communicating complex climate information, which is crucial for public understanding and policymaking.
