Objective. To conduct a literature review of 165 scientific articles published in Scopus that address the role of social media in pandemic or epidemic scenarios.
Methodology. Bibliometrics was used to extract literature indicators and maps evidencing research streams and most frequent words. Results. The bibliometric analysis revealed a significant growth of research on the topic, which corresponds to the first wave of the coronavirus in Europe and America. It was also identified that most of the studies focus on analyzing the type of information disseminated on COVID-19 in social networks. Conclusions.
This research emphasizes the importance of future studies on Latin American contexts, as well as the need to examine the psychological impact of media use in pandemic scenarios; finally, it is important to delve into strategies for improving public communication in health emergency situations.
