在软件工程中纳入灰色文献和进行多域文献综述的指南
Guidelines for including grey literature and conducting multivocal literature reviews in software engineering
摘要：
背景：多焦点文献综述（MLR）是系统性文献综述（SLR）的一种形式，包括灰色文献（例如，博客文章和白皮书）除了公开的（正式的）文献（例如，期刊和会议论文）。MLR对研究人员和从业人员都很有用，因为它们提供了特定领域的最新技术和实践总结。目的：在SE中进行SLR研究有几个指南。然而，由于多目标激光雷达的几个阶段不同于传统的激光雷达，例如在搜索过程和源质量评估方面。因此，SLR指南对于进行MLR研究仅部分有用。我们在本文中的目标是提出如何进行MLR研究在SE的指导方针。方法：为了制定MLR指南，我们受益于三个输入：（1）SE中现有的SLR指南，（2）MLR指南的文献调查和其他领域的经验文件，以及（3）我们自己在SE中进行几次MLR的经验。所有派生的准则进行了讨论的背景下，三个例子MLR运行的例子（两个从SE和一个MLR从医学科学）。结果如下：由此产生的准则涵盖了在社会企业中进行和报告多重法律责任的所有阶段，从规划阶段，到进行审查，再到审查的最后报告。特别是，我们认为，通过纳入和采纳MLR指南和其他领域经验文件中的大量建议，我们能够提出一套具有坚实基础的指南。结论：在三种类型的坚实经验和证据的基础上制定的MLR指南支持研究人员在任何SE领域有效和高效地进行新的MLR。
英文摘要：
Context: A Multivocal Literature Review (MLR) is a form of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) which includes the grey literature (e.g., blog posts and white papers) in addition to the published (formal) literature (e.g., journal and conference papers). MLRs are useful for both researchers and practitioners since they provide summaries both the state-of-the art and -practice in a given area. Objective: There are several guidelines to conduct SLR studies in SE. However, given the facts that several phases of MLRs differ from those of traditional SLRs, for instance with respect to the search process and source quality assessment. Therefore, SLR guidelines are only partially useful for conducting MLR studies. Our goal in this paper is to present guidelines on how to conduct MLR studies in SE. Method: To develop the MLR guidelines, we benefit from three inputs: (1) existing SLR guidelines in SE, (2), a literature survey of MLR guidelines and experience papers in other fields, and (3) our own experiences in conducting several MLRs in SE. All derived guidelines are discussed in the context of three examples MLRs as running examples (two from SE and one MLR from the medical sciences). Results: The resulting guidelines cover all phases of conducting and reporting MLRs in SE from the planning phase, over conducting the review to the final reporting of the review. In particular, we believe that incorporating and adopting a vast set of recommendations from MLR guidelines and experience papers in other fields have enabled us to propose a set of guidelines with solid foundations. Conclusion: Having been developed on the basis of three types of solid experience and evidence, the provided MLR guidelines support researchers to effectively and efficiently conduct new MLRs in any area of SE.
