Description
In recent times, the interest for research dissecting the dissemination and prevention of misinformation in the online environment has spiked dramatically. Given that scenario, a recurring obstacle is the unavailability of public datasets containing fact-checked instances. In this work, we performed an extensive data collection of such instances from the better part of all major internationally recognized Brazilian fact-checking agencies. Particularly, this paper offers the research community a novel dataset containing fact-checks from various trustworthy sources regarding a wide range of topics. In total, the resulting collection encompasses 11647 fact-check instances collected across 6 different agencies that can be used for several studies in the contexts of identifying and combating misinformation on digital platforms in Brazil.
