Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs) are increasingly popular to categorize and identify research gaps. Their reliability largely depends on the rigour of the attempt to identify, appraise and aggregate evidences through coding, i.e. the process of examining and organizing the data contained in primary studies in order to answer the research questi...

... Section motivates the interest of moving from tags to Web resources for capturing the coding effort. Figure 1 (a) displays the result of the coding effort as a spreadsheet. Cells hold the result of the classification process, i.e. the codes, but not the classification rationales, i.e. quotes from primary studies sustaining this classification. ...

... normally requires to go back to the PDFs. On the QDAS front, Figure 1 (b) shows the case for NVivo. Targeting ground theory studies, NVivo collects not just the coding result but also trace back to the case studies (the counterpart of primary studies in ground theory). ...

... loading, this extension pulls the associated dataset repository to check whether new annotations have been introduced since the last sync, and update the spreadsheet accordingly. Figure 10 displays the rendering of the repository data at one point during the coding process: (1) columns are obtained from codeBookDevelopment annotations and linking annotations; (2) primary studies are elicited from classification annotations; and (3), cells are extracted from classification annotations. Cells can hold either a code if the column stands for a category, or a quote, when the column is just a code not yet refined into a category. ...

... an example, consider the SPLEMMA paper. From Figure 10, checkers can grasp the mapping stage for this primary study: for the Evolution Activity (white background), the study is Table 1: Cell background colors in hypersheets. The righthand column includes the predicate upon "H", i.e. the set of tuples <paper, category, reviewer, code, quote, validation>. ...

... The development of an SLR makes use of at least three types of data: i) general data of publications, such as authorship, year, origin and title; ii) context data, such as themes, methodology and application areas; and iii) data considered findings, such as contributions, barriers and guidelines (Díaz et al., 2019). ...
There is an increase in the consumption of products across the globe and with it, the damage and environmental impacts also grow in significant proportions. Therefore, there is a need to propose methods, techniques and procedures capable of minimizing environmental impacts, which, consequently, has inspired the academic community to develop research that addresses sustainable alternatives for the production, use and disposal of products. Due to society's growing interest in this subject, this research aims to present the state of the art on sustainable products and analyze how this content impacts organizations. Methodologically, the research was supported by a Systematic Literature Review based on 161 papers from the Web of Science database, published from 01/01/2011 to 12/31/2020. As main results, it was observed the historical evolution, the adopted methodological procedures, the innovations and trends of future research that are still open. In addition, it was noticed that a large part of the studies sought to address how the producer's extended responsibility has been configured, the process of developing eco-designed products and, finally, the consumer's behavior regarding products with eco-labels.
... However, these concepts need to be connected to the knowledge the newcomer already has. As an example, consider Jane, a developer that has previously worked in the application engineering team of Highlight&Go [40], one of the products derived from WACline. The main concepts from this application, which are already known to Jane, are highlighted in the SPL Cmap of Fig. 2 with an orange background. ...
With a volatile labour and technological market, onboarding is becoming increasingly important. The process of incorporating a new developer, a.k.a. the newcomer, into a software development team is reckoned to be lengthy, frustrating and expensive. Newcomers face personal, interpersonal, process and technical barriers during their incorporation, which, in turn, affects the overall productivity of the whole team. This problem exacerbates for Software Product Lines (SPLs), where their size and variability combine to make onboarding even more challenging, even more so for developers that are transferred from the Application Engineering team into the Domain Engineering team, who will be our target newcomers. This work presents concept maps on the role of sensemaking scaffolds to help to introduce these newcomers into the SPL domain. Concept maps, used as knowledge visualisation tools, have been proven to be helpful for meaningful learning. Our main insight is to capture concepts of the SPL domain and their interrelationships in a concept map, and then, present them incrementally, helping newcomers grasp the SPL and aiding them in exploring it in a guided manner while avoiding information overload. This work's contributions are four-fold. First, concept maps are proposed as a representation to introduce newcomers into the SPL domain. Second, concept maps are presented as the means for a guided exploration of the SPL core assets. Third, a feature-driven concept map construction process is introduced. Last, the usefulness of concept maps as guides for SPL onboarding is tested through a formative evaluation. Link to the online demo: url="https://rebrand.ly/wacline-cmap"
A significant amount of research project funding is spent creating customized annotation systems, re-inventing the wheel once and again, developing the same common features. In this paper, we present WACline, a Software Product Line to facilitate customization of browser extension Web annotation clients. WACline reduces the development effort by reusing common features (e.g., highlighting and commenting) while putting the main focus on customization. To this end, WACline provides already implemented 111 features that can be extended with new ones. In this way, researchers can reduce the development and maintenance costs of annotation clients.
With a volatile labour and technological market,
onboarding is becoming increasingly important. The process
of incorporating a new developer, a.k.a. the newcomer, into a
software development team is reckoned to be lengthy, frustrating
and expensive. Newcomers face personal, interpersonal, process
and technical barriers during their incorporation, which, in turn,
affects the overall productivity of the whole team. This problem
exacerbates for Software Product Lines (SPLs), where their size
and variability combine to make onboarding even more challenging,
even more so for developers that are transferred from the
Application Engineering team into the Domain Engineering team,
who will be our target newcomers. This work presents concept
maps on the role of sensemaking scaffolds to help to introduce
these newcomers into the SPL domain. Concept maps, used as
knowledge visualisation tools, have been proven to be helpful for
meaningful learning. Our main insight is to capture concepts of
the SPL domain and their interrelationships in a concept map,
and then, present them incrementally, helping newcomers grasp
the SPL and aiding them in exploring it in a guided manner while
avoiding information overload. This work’s contributions are
four-fold. First, concept maps are proposed as a representation
to introduce newcomers into the SPL domain. Second, concept
maps are presented as the means for a guided exploration
of the SPL core assets. Third, a feature-driven concept map
construction process is introduced. Last, the usefulness of concept
maps as guides for SPL onboarding is tested through a formative
