The selection of studies, extraction and synthesis of data will be performed by two independent reviewers.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> 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.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> 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.</p>}, number={7e}, journal={Millenium - Journal of Education, Technologies, and Health}, author={Ricardo, José and Cunha, Madalena and Santos, Eduardo}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={65–69} }
