| Sumario: | Since 2016, investigations of disinformation and its effects have been very numerous. The themes are repetitive, but the most relevant studies are those that explain their propagation. The present work carries out a systematic review of the literature on electoral campaigns, disinformation, artificial intelligence and automation in Latin America in Spanish. The objective is to identify research trends, as well as opportunities in their study. The article has a non-experimental and descriptive character, with a critical review approach. The research questions posed are the following: What thematic axes guide research on disinformation in Ibero-American academic literature? Are the political variables the ones that order this investigation? To what extent is artificial intelligence introduced across the axes? As results, five major thematic axes are established in research on disinformation in the Ibero-American framework in Spanish. First, an overabundance of social media studies and fake news; second, the great response to misinformation is fact-checking, without great methodological refinement; later, those works that try to fill a gap in knowledge but with a great theoretical deficit; fourthly, the investigations focused on political parties and leaders of the extreme right; and finally, those that analyze disinformation linked to automation or artificial intelligence. |
