Abstract

This research aims to examine the contents and discourse of Spanish newspaper reports about obesity, especially that involving children and adolescents. An initial corpus was complied with 183 news items published by the largest circulating national daily El Pais between 01/01/2013 and 31/12/2013 and retrieved from the digital edition's online archives using the search expression obesidad infantil. After scrutinizing each for relevance, a 69-item sample was selected for quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results of this small corpus study illustrate the trends in coverage in the headlines and the issues associated with obesity over the year. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-07:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 17.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 17 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 0.25.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: http://hdl.handle.net/10251/73829
