Abstract

This article exemplifies a literature review of the concepts of fake news, post-truth, and disinformation, in the Web of Science database. The idea of creating a state of the art, despite being a routine activity in research processes, implies accounting for the unique differences when addressing emerging issues (such as the concepts discussed here) and, particularly, in the last 15 years, from hemerographic tools, in turn, based on hemerometric tools. Through a hemerographic tracking with the resources provided by Web of Science, a systematization is carried out to offer a sample of the possibilities of that base to elaborate a literature review. It was found that this tool, -although with restricted access- is very useful for the elaboration of the first thematic maps in the search for emerging topics and the identification of research core by disciplinary areas, authors, and conceptual differences.
