Abstract

Information has various definitions and combinations, which have to be regarded for proper information management. The purpose of this study is to clarify the concepts of information, misinformation, and disinformation for having a better understanding of their dimensions as well as to explain the patterns and motives of diffusion of misinformation and disinformation. The present study examines studies of a social diffusion model of information, misinformation, and disinformation as well as a prevention framework of misinformation. Knowing these concepts and their dimensions provides the basis for more accurate and comprehensive analysis in this area. Skills of critical thinking and information evaluation in the forms of information literacy and web literacy can prevent users from publishing, retrieving, and using misinformation and disinformation.
