Additional information
<33>The authors were invited to submit this paper to a special issue of ESE based on a conference paper. It is one of a series of studies to investigate how to improve procedures for performing systematic reviews in software engineering. It confirmed the need for broad searches including manual and automated searches to achieve completeness. The paper contributed to our understanding of how search strategies relate to review goals. Another issue raised was the difficulty of obtaining agreement among researchers when assessing the quality of empirical studies. This result led us to undertake further studies of quality assessment (Brereton Paper 1).
