NEws and COmments in Spanish (NECOS) is a collection of Spanish comments posted in response to newspaper articles. Following a robust annotation scheme, three annotators labeled the comments as constructive and non-constructive. The articles were published in the newspaper El Mundo between April 3rd and April 30th, 2018.

The corpus is composed of a total of 10 news articles and 1,419 comments. Three annotators manually labeled NECOS with an average Cohen’s kappa of 78.97.
