A lot of efforts have been made in order to understand this phenomenon, ranging from popular topic detection to information diffusion modeling, including influential spreaders identification. In this article, we present a survey of representative methods dealing with these issues and propose a taxonomy that summarizes the state-of-the-art. The objective is to provide a comprehensive analysis and guide of existing efforts around information diffusion in social networks. This survey is intended to help researchers in quickly understanding existing works and possible improvements to bring. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00848050/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00848050/file/survey.pdf %L hal-00848050 %U https://hal.science/hal-00848050 %~ UNIV-LYON2 %~ ERIC %~ TDS-MACS %~ LABEXIMU %~ UDL
