Resumo: Objective: to analyze how the academic studies, presented in scientific articles, constitute about the digital algorithms such as social concern, in the areas of Social Sciences and Humanities, through Project Muse databases, SCOPUS and SciELO. Methodology: This paper use exploratory and qualitative and it uses the methodological procedures of Content Analysis, carried out in three stages (pre-analysis, exploration of the material and treatment of the data) for the survey and analysis of the documents collected in the databases. Results: From the survey in the databases, it analyzes 220 selected scientific articles, which bring in their content reflections on the social role of algorithms. Classifies the analyzed articles into 11 categories, grouped by thematic similarity. Conclusions: Concludes that the theme with the greatest representation among the analyzed articles related to algorithmic customization, together with reflections on opacity, manipulation and algorithmic discrimination, their impacts and influence on human behavior. Understand that the algorithms are not neutral, but reflect and reproduce the discursive formations of each society. Perceives that the reflections and questions about the social role of the algorithms still need research. Announces perspectives for new studies based on the results and investigations present in this research.

Metodología: Con carácter exploratorio y enfoque cualitativo, esta investigación utiliza los procedimientos metodológicos del Análisis de Contenido, realizado en tres etapas (preanálisis, exploración de materiales y procesamiento de datos). Resultados: A partir de la encuesta en estas bases de datos, analiza los 220 artículos científicos seleccionados, que aportan en su contenido reflexiones sobre el papel social de los algoritmos. Clasifica los artículos analizados en 11 categorías, agrupadas por similitud temática. Conclusiones: Se concluye que el tema con mayor representación entre los artículos analizados está relacionado con la personalización algorítmica, junto con las reflexiones sobre la opacidad algorítmica, manipulación y discriminación, sus impactos e influencia en el comportamiento humano. Entiende que los algoritmos no son neutrales, sino que reflejan y reproducen las formaciones discursivas de cada sociedad. Entiende que las reflexiones y preguntas sobre el papel social de los algoritmos aún carecen de investigación. Anuncia perspectivas para nuevos estudios basados en los resultados e investigaciones presentes en esta investigación.Objetivo: analisar como se constituem os estudos acadêmicos, apresentados em artigos científicos, acerca dos algoritmos digitais como preocupação social, nas áreas de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, através das bases de dados Project Muse, SCOPUS e SciELO.
