In the manuscript (psyarxiv.com/x8ejt), we also identify three main paradigms in research on misinformation interventions: the misinformation-correction paradigm, the headline-discernment paradigm, and the skill-adoption paradigm. Yes, there is more than one! 4/8

Misinformation research is developing rapidly, and the state of the evidence behind interventions changes constantly. In light of this, for the next three years upon publication in a scientific journal, our toolbox will be available as a living expert review. Stay tuned! 5/8
