| Summary: | In the digital society, the traditional methods of social research for the study of society have been accompanied by innovative methodological proposals: digital and digitized methods , which are now applied to many themes. In 2020 the most debated topic was certainly the one concerning the Covid-19 pandemic; a “total social fact” of which not only the medical aspects have been analyzed, a substantial scientific production, indeed, has concerned the impacts that the pandemic itself and the measures that governments have taken to resist it has had on society. Starting from these considerations, the aim of this work is to offer an overview of the topics analyzed and the research methods used to investigate this disruptive event in academic research concerning the social sciences - and in particular that which focused on the Italian case - during the last year. To map the state of the art, consolidate the heterogeneous corpus of knowledge, and investigate the different methodological approaches used (tradition/digital/digitized) a methodological approach was applied based on a systematic review of the literature conducted with the PRISMA method and carried out with a third type content analysis.
