Resumo

Em tempos de pandemia, a desordem informativa pode provocar danos irreparáveis, colocando em risco a vida de pessoas e a estabilidade de nações. Este trabalho objetiva alcançar o estado da arte sobre os estudos acadêmicos que tratam de desordem informativa no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática expondo o corpus científico referente ao tema entre os anos de 2020 e 2022.  Foram analisados 59 artigos acadêmicos nas línguas inglesa e portuguesa com acesso aberto nas bases de dados Scopus, Web of Science e Communication & Mass Media. Os resultados demonstram que, no período analisado, os estudos acadêmicos se concentraram em seis eixos principais: 1) motivação para consumir e compartilhar os conteúdos, 2) literacia mediática, 3) regulação das plataformas digitais, 4) fact-checking e os efeitos das correções na receção, 5) teoria da inoculação e 6) revisões de literatura. De forma geral, o corpus acadêmico sobre desordem informativa no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19 se mostrou bastante consistente.
