BACKGROUND Reference management software programs enable researchers to more easily organize and manage large volumes of references typically identified during the production of systematic reviews. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which authors are using reference management software to produce systematic reviews; identify which programs are used most frequently and rate...

For long-lived systems, there is a need to address evolvability (i.e. a system’s ability to easily accommodate changes) explicitly during the entire lifecycle. In this report, we undertake a systematic review to obtain an overview of the existing studies in promoting software evolvability at architectural level. The search strategy identified 3036 studies, of which 54 were catalogued as primary...

Adaptive management is a systematic approach for improving environmental management by learning from management outcomes. We believe that protected areas management can benefit greatly from this approach which allows management to proceed despite uncertainty, and reduces this uncertainty through a systematic process for learning. We describe this approach as a six-stage process: problem assessm...
