Concept
COVID-19 infodemic: More retweets for science-based information on coronavirus than for false information results on scientific information
- Science-based evidence and fact-checking tweets capture more engagement than merely facts
- Tweets containing true information were 10 times more likely to be retweeted than tweets containing false information
- Tweets disseminating information for the purposes of fact-checking and containing information supported by evidence had more retweets than tweets that simply presented factual information
