Sumario:The objective is to perform a descriptive statistical analysis of the characteristics of the bibliographic references offered in a stricto sensu postgraduate curricular component that explicitly deals with at least one of these phenomena: post-truth, misinformation and infodemic. We adopted the digital repository of scientific communications from the Media, health, and post-truth class from the Postgraduate Program in Health Information and Communication of the Institute of Scientific and Technological Communication and Information in Health, of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation - FIOCRUZ, Brazil. The methodological procedures adopted were the case study, with a quantitative nature, and the application of descriptive analysis for categorization and statistical detailing of the contents of scientific communications. The results showed that eighteen scientific communications are related to the post-truth phenomena, infodemic, and disinformation, and analyzed thirteen dimensions of characteristics of scientific communications. It is concluded that the scientific communications analyzed have scientific references on the phenomena of post-truth, misinformation and infodemic (the latter with less intensity), with potential to subsidize the discussions on the phenomena analyzed.
