Abstract
RICARDO, José; CUNHA, Madalena and SANTOS, Eduardo. Impact of fake news dissemination in COVID-19 pandemic time: a scoping review protocol. Mill [online]. 2020, n.esp7, pp.65-69. Epub Dec 31, 2020. ISSN 0873-3015. https://doi.org/10.29352/mill0207e.07.00365.
Introduction:
It is very common for information/newsletters to proliferate that do not always correspond to the truth (commonly called fake news) about the 2019 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) because it is new and unknown, directly affecting the population.
Objective:
To map and synthesize the impact of fake news dissemination in times of COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
A scoping review will be conducted using the method proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The selection of studies, extraction and synthesis of data will be performed by two independent reviewers.
Results:
We expect the inclusion of several studies demonstrating the relationship between fake news dissemination and the COVID-19 pandemic. Their analysis will allow the collection of contributions from representative studies from different geographical areas and through different methodologies for an enriching synthesis.
Conclusion:
The conduct of this scoping review will be essential to synthesize the impact of the dissemination of fake news in times of pandemic of COVID-19 and a necessary contribution to identify interventions that minimize it.
Keywords : coronavirus infections; fake news; population.
