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 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-23R-FENOL info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-115800GB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RYC2021-033226-I info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 39.5 2024 PHYSICS, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 2 / 114 = 0.018 2024 Q1 T1 PHYSICS, APPLIED 1 / 187 = 0.005 2024 Q1 T1 9.803 2024 Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 60.3 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/review info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-1192-8707 Aleta, Alberto Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0895-1893 Moreno, Yamir Universidad de Zaragoza 2004 405 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
