A systematic mapping on the use of visual data mining to support the conduct of systematic literature reviews
Felizardo, KR; MacDonell, SG; Mendes, E; Maldonado, JC (Academy Publisher, 2012)A systematic literature review (SLR) is a methodology used to find and aggregate all relevant existing evidence about a specific research question of interest. Important decisions need to be made at several points in the ... -
Analysing the use of graphs to represent the results of systematic reviews in software engineering
Felizardo, KR,; Riaz, M,; Sulayman, M,; Mendes, E; MacDonell, SG; Maldonaldo, JC (IEEE Computer Society Press, 2011)The presentation of results from Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs) is generally done using tables. Prior research suggests that results summarized in tables are often difficult for readers to understand. One alternative ... -
How reliable are systematic reviews in empirical software engineering?
MacDonell, S; Shepperd, M; Kitchenham, B; Mendes, E (IEEE Computer Society, 2010)BACKGROUND-The systematic review is becoming a more commonly employed research instrument in empirical software engineering. Before undue reliance is placed on the outcomes of such reviews it would seem useful to consider ... -
Using visual text mining to support the study selection activity in systematic literature reviews
Felizardo, KR; Salleh, N; Martins, RM; Mendes, E; MacDonell, SG; Maldonado, JC (IEEE Computer Society Press, 2011)Background: A systematic literature review (SLR) is a methodology used to aggregate all relevant existing evidence to answer a research question of interest. Although crucial, the process used to select primary studies can ...
