information verification, prebunking, debunking, fact-checking, information correctionAbstract
Research on fact-checking, which began gaining traction around 2010, has seen a significant surge in interest, complicating efforts to overview the field comprehensively. Previous mappings of fact-checking research were often limited in scope and accessibility and lacked context in the post-infodemic era. Addressing these gaps, a systematic literature review was conducted on English-language academic publications from 2010 to 2023, encompassing 675 articles. This review delved into various aspects of fact-checking, such as infrastructure, practices, tools, genres, effectiveness, public perception, and the emerging role of AI. It highlighted the necessity for refined research methodologies, longitudinal effectiveness studies, and a deeper understanding of social context’s impact on misinformation and fact-checking efficacy, particularly beyond the U.S. This comprehensive analysis offers invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of fact-checking and information verification.
