Abstract: TikTok is, at the moment, one of the most popular social networks in the world. Scientific dissemination is one of the content genres that is increasing on the platform, which is used to create, share and watch short videos. This article is a part of the dissertation from my Master in Communication Sciences at Universidade Nova de Lisboa and aims to clarify how TikTok is being used as a media support for scientific dissemination in Brazil. The methodology was composed with the theme’s bibliographic review, the survey of Brazilian profiles with scientific dissemination contents on the platform and the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the profiles and their contents. Thereby, it was concluded that, in Brazil, TiKTok seeks to boost the image of an educational content platform, going beyond entertainment. For this reason, there is a growing incentive for scientific dissemination, which is approached on the platform, mainly, through short, multimodal and dynamic videos, that contextualize information to people’s daily lives.
