Editorial: Systematic Reviews in Information and Software Engineering

Systematic reviews (sometimes called systematic literature reviews in software engineering to ensure they are not confused with inspection research) are a form of secondary study that assesses the impact of individual empirical studies (referred to as primary studies). They aim to search for, and aggregate, all relevant information on a specific research topic, where within in the context of ev...

Editorial: Special Issue on Repeatable Results in Software Engineering Prediction

The goal of science is conclusion stability, i.e. to discover some effect X that holds in multiple situations. Sadly, there are all too few examples of stable conclusions in software engineering (SE). In fact, the typical result is conclusion instability where what is true for project one, does not hold for project two. We can find numerous studies of the following form: there is as much eviden...
