Abstract
El marketing y la comunicación de influencia experimentan un rápido crecimiento, lo que impulsa la expansión de investigaciones destinadas a comprender su funcionamiento. Los perfiles de los denominados influencers presentan una diversidad considerable, y su impacto varía en función del contexto en el que operan; en este sentido, plataformas como Instagram han consolidado su posición como espacios idóneos para que las marcas integren estos perfiles en sus estrategias de comunicación. Para conocer la dinámica explicada, este estudio se enfoca en examinar cómo los investigadores abordan el estudio en este campo, para ello se utiliza una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica como metodología. Se analizan las palabras clave recurrentes, los enfoques de investigación, los diseños y los instrumentos utilizados para alcanzar una variedad de objetivos relacionados con la comprensión del fenómeno. Además, se investiga el objeto de estudio de estas publicaciones. Los resultados muestran que, lejos de disminuir, la investigación en este campo ha experimentado un crecimiento constante a lo largo de los años, lo que suscita diversas preocupaciones dentro de la literatura científica relacionadas con la necesidad de abordar de manera más exhaustiva y detallada aspectos como la transparencia en las publicaciones de los influencers, la autenticidad de su contenido, la efectividad de las estrategias de comunicación implementadas y el impacto real en la audiencia.
