| Abstract | Context: We are seeking the best ways to employ evidence-based practices in software engineering research and practice.Objectives: To help assess our guidelines for conducting systematic literature reviews we have investigated how other academic disciplines use evidence-based practices.Method: This involved performing two studies, one using a questionnaire with a set of experts, and a second using semi-structured interviews.Results: We have identified how disciplines with similar empirical constraints to software engineering place weight upon different forms of empirical data.Conclusions: We describe both the resulting changes to our systematic literature review guidelines and some issues this raises for empirical software engineering. |
