      Methodological Trends

An analysis of the methodologies used in studies on disinformation (Table 1.6) shows that a qualitative approach is the most widely used (55.5%), followed by the quantitative approach (32%) and mixed solutions (12.4%). Additionally, there is a greater proliferation of single-method studies. Contributions that focus on reviews of the literature or essays, which are often difficult to distinguish, have been the most numerous (27%) and 6correspond to an initial stage marked by a concern for conceptual precision, with complex equivalences in the different languages.
