ABSTRACT
Systematic review is a widely used research method in software engineering, and in other disciplines, for identifying and analysing empirical evidence. The method is data intensive and time consuming, and hence is usually supported by a wide range of software-based tools. However, systematic reviewers have found that finding and selecting tools can be quite challenging.
In this paper, we present the Systematic Review Toolbox; a web-based catalogue of tools, to help reviewers find appropriate tools based on their particular needs.

A systematic review of systematic review process research in software engineering
Context: Many researchers adopting systematic reviews (SRs) have also published papers discussing problems with the SR methodology and suggestions for improving it. Since guidelines for SRs in software engineering (SE) were last updated in 2007, we ...
Scientific research ontology to support systematic review in software engineering
The term systematic review is used to refer to a specific methodology of research, developed in order to gather and evaluate the available evidence pertaining to a focused topic. It represents a secondary study that depends on primary study results to ...
