Abstract
The objective of this study is to describe content quality and its relation with authorship and/or affiliation in eating disorders blogs. The results reveal that indication of authorship in the 391 blogs studied implied greater suitability of the contents concerning eating disorders, as did the existence of affiliation to an institution. In conclusion, indication of authorship in association with a reputed institution should be recognised as representing the primary quality criteria to be borne in mind.
