The main drawback is that the responsibility for judging the content and accuracy of information moves from editors and journalists to online information users, with the side effect of the potential growth of fake news. In such a scenario, trustworthiness about information providers cannot be overlooked anymore, rather it more and more helps in discerning real news from fakes. In this paper we evaluate how trustworthiness among OSN users influences the news spreading process. To this purpose, we consider the news spreading as a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) process in OSN, adding the contribution credibility of users as a layer on top of OSN. Simulations with both fake and true news spreading on such a multiplex network show that the credibility improves the diffusion of real news while limiting the propagation of fakes. The proposed approach can also be extended to real social networks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi13050107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]],"date-time":"2021-04-25T22:31:39Z","timestamp":1619389899000},"page":"107","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Mutual Influence of Users Credibility and News Spreading in Online Social Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1671-840X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincenza","family":"Carchiolo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica (DMI), Universit\u00e0 di Catania, 95131 Catania, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9898-8808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandro","family":"Longheu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica Elettronica e Informatica (DIEEI), Universit\u00e0 di Catania, 95131 Catania, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9279-3129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michele","family":"Malgeri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica Elettronica e Informatica (DIEEI), Universit\u00e0 di Catania, 95131 Catania, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6910-0112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Mangioni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica Elettronica e Informatica (DIEEI), Universit\u00e0 di Catania, 95131 Catania, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marialaura","family":"Previti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica Elettronica e Informatica (DIEEI), Universit\u00e0 di Catania, 95131 Catania, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Bruns, A.
