The aim of the present study was to compare the research trends on disinformation between Korean and abroad. To achieve this objective, a total of 283 author-assigned English keywords in 104 Korean papers and 3,551 author-assigned English keywords in 861 abroad papers were collected from the whole research fields and the publication periods. The collected data were analyzed using NetMiner V.4 to discover their ‘degree centrality’ and ‘betweenness centrality’of the keyword network. The result are as follows. First, the major research topics of disinformation in Korea were drawn such as ‘Freedom of Expression’, ‘Fact Check’, ‘Regulation’, ‘Media Literacy’, and ‘Information Literacy’ in order; whereas, in abroad were shown like ‘Social Media’, ‘Post Truth’, ‘Propaganda’, ‘Information Literacy’, and ‘Journalism’ in order. Second, in terms of the influence of research topics related to disinformation, in Korea were identified such as ‘Fact Check’, ‘Freedom of Expression’, and ‘Hoax’ in order; whereas, in abroad were shown such as ‘Social Media’ and ‘Detection’ in order. Finally, in an aspect of intervention of research topics related to disinformation, in Korea were ‘Fact Check’, ‘Polarization’, ‘Freedom of Expression’, and ‘Commercial’; whereas, in abroad were ‘Social Media’, ‘Detection’, and ‘Machine Learning’ in order.
