Abstract

LOPEZ, Crislee E.  and  CORCUERA-CIUDAD, Rodrigo. Infodemic and Misinformation about COVID-19: A Bibliometric analysis. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2021, vol.40, suppl.1, e1379.  Epub Mar 01, 2021. ISSN 0864-0300.

The novel coronavirus pandemic has brought about a phenomenon known as infodemic, generating misinformation and even affecting people's health. The purpose of the study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis to describe the progress of scientific publications about infodemic, and identify the topics and possible solutions they propose. A search was carried out in the database Scopus using search terms derived from "infodemic", "misinformation" and "COVID-19". A total 286 documents were found, most of which were original papers published in high impact journals. Being as it is a recent field of study, collaboration patterns and co-authorship networks were not found.

Keywords : infodemic; COVID-19; bibliometry.
