The impact of fake news on Social Science Research. Systematized bibliographic review
Abstract
Fake news has begun to play a major role at the political, social, media, and even scientific level. In this work, a systematic review of the studies carried out to date on fake news has been developed starting from the main databases (Web of Science, Dialnet Plus), with the aim of verifying which topics have attracted the attention of the scientific community in this regard, what research techniques have been used in these studies, where these are geographically concentrated, and what fields still need to be investigated regarding this phenomenon. This study shows that there is still a long way to go, especially in the Ibero-American sphere that appears quantitatively less represented in the context of scientific production on fake news.
