Abstract

Conducting systematic studies during a postgraduate program, such as systematic review, systematic mapping, and tertiary review, can benefit the project’s success. They provide an overview of the literature considering currently available research findings, establish baselines for other research activities, and support decisions made throughout the research project. However, there is a shortage of research that presents systematic studies experiences in supporting academic projects. This paper’s main contribution is reporting our experience on how the evidence found in tertiary and secondary studies positively influenced a PhD project’s decisions. Initially, a tertiary study was conducted, followed by a systematic mapping. The evidence returned by the tertiary study led to the definition of the PhD research proposal in the Requirement Engineering field. Moreover, a systematic mapping contributed to the definition of the PhD research problem. From this experience in undertaking systematic studies to support a PhD project, the paper also presents lessons learned and recommendations to guide PhD students’ decisions.
使用来自系统研究的证据来指导需求工程的博士研究——一份经验报告
在研究生项目中进行系统的研究,例如系统的回顾,系统的绘图,和第三次回顾,可以有利于项目的成功。他们提供文献综述,考虑当前可用的研究成果,为其他研究活动建立基线,并在整个研究项目中支持决策。然而,在支持学术项目方面,缺乏系统的研究经验。本文的主要贡献是报告了我们在高等教育和中学研究中发现的证据如何积极影响博士项目决策的经验。最初,进行了三级研究,然后进行了系统的绘图。高等教育研究返回的证据导致了需求工程领域博士研究计划的定义。此外,一个系统的地图有助于博士研究问题的定义。从进行系统研究以支持博士项目的经验中,本文还提出了指导博士生决策的经验教训和建议。
