Trends and perceptions of evidence-based software engineering research in Malaysia

Evidence-based research has been matured and established in many other disciplines such as in Medicine and Psychology. One of the methods that has been widely used to support evidence-based practices is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The SLR is a review method that aims to provide un...

We believe that knowledge and skill on using SLR should be promoted to encourage more researchers to apply it in their research.
