Given this scenario, the provision of tools to assist users with information auditability on social networks needs an emergencial approach. This article describes a catalog, followed by a guide of features that provide auditability on social networks. The guide contains guidelines for development of funcionalities in order to promote the adoption of auditability and enable users to identify false information and validate content on social networks. © 2016 for this paper by its authors.

ItemProviding tools to enable information audit in social networks( 2015) Alexandre Hostand Souza ; Cappell,C ; Maciel,CIn the moment that social networks arise as a new source of information, we also started to concern about the information shared in this environment. It is difficult to users of social networks to distinguish the accuracy of the information spreaded. The combination of auditability features and research directions in human-computer interaction area will guide the development of tools for evaluating information. We present prototypes of tools that once available, will allow users to decide about the credibility of information that they access and share. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
