The COVID-19 pandemic and the proliferation of misinformation are examples that highlight the importance of these dynamic processes. In recent years, it has become clear that studies of higher-order networks may unlock new avenues for investigating such processes. Despite being in its early stages, the examination of social contagion in higher-order networks has witnessed a surge of research and concepts, revealing different functional forms for the spreading dynamics and offering novel insights. This Review presents a focused overview of this body of literature and proposes a unified formalism that covers most of these forms. The goal is to underscore the similarities and distinctions among various models to motivate further research on the general and universal properties of such models. We also highlight that although the path for additional theoretical exploration appears clear, the empirical validation of these models through data or experiments remains scant, with an unsettled roadmap as of today. We therefore conclude with some perspectives aimed at providing possible research directions that could contribute to a better understanding of this class of dynamical processes, both from a theoretical and a data-oriented point of view 000146993 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-23R-FENOL$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-115800GB-I00$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RYC2021-033226-I 000146993 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000146993 590__ $$a39.5$$b2024 000146993 592__ $$a9.803$$b2024 000146993 591__ $$aPHYSICS, MULTIDISCIPLINARY$$b2 / 114 = 0.018$$c2024$$dQ1$$eT1 000146993 593__ $$aPhysics and Astronomy (miscellaneous)$$c2024$$dQ1 000146993 591__ $$aPHYSICS, APPLIED$$b1 / 187 = 0.005$$c2024$$dQ1$$eT1 000146993 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/review$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000146993 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1192-8707$$aAleta, Alberto$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000146993 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-0895-1893$$aMoreno, Yamir$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000146993 7102_ $$12004$$2405$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
