Abstract Context: Several researchers have reported their experiences in applying secondary studies (Systematic Literature Reviews — SLRs and Systematic Mappings — SMs) in Software Engineering (SE). However, there is still a lack of studies discussing the value of performing secondary studies in an academic context. Goal: The main goal of this study is to provide an overview on the use of secondary studies in an academic context. Method: Two empirical research methods were used. Initially, we conducted a SM to identify the available and relevant studies on the use of secondary studies as a research methodology for conducting SE research projects. Secondly, a survey was performed with 64 SE researchers to identify their perception related to the value of performing secondary studies to support their research projects. Results: Our results show benefits of using secondary studies in the academic context, such as providing an overview of the literature as well as identifying relevant research literature on a research area enabling to find reasons to explain why a research project should be approved for a grant and/or supporting decisions made in a research project. Difficulties faced by SE graduate students with secondary studies are that they tend to be conducted by a team and it demands more effort than a traditional review. Conclusions: Secondary studies are valuable to graduate students. They should consider conducting a secondary study for their research project due to the benefits and contributions provided to develop the overall project. However, the advice of an experienced supervisor is essential to avoid bias. In addition, the acquisition of skills can increase student’s motivation to pursue their research projects and prepare them for both academic or industrial careers.

学术背景下的二次研究:系统的绘图和调查

摘要背景:几位研究人员报告了他们在软件工程 (SE) 中应用二级研究(系统文献评论 - SLR 和系统映射 - SM)的经验。然而,仍然缺乏讨论在学术背景下进行中学学习的价值的研究。目标:本研究的主要目标是概述在学术环境中使用二次学习。方法:采用了两种实证研究方法。最初,我们进行了一项 SM,以确定有关使用二级研究作为进行 SE 研究项目的研究方法的可用和相关研究。其次,对 64 名 SE 研究人员进行了一项调查,以确定他们对进行二级研究以支持其研究项目的价值的看法。结果:我们的结果显示了在学术背景下使用二次研究的好处,例如提供文献概述以及确定研究领域的相关研究文献,从而找到解释为什么研究项目应该获得资助和/或支持在研究项目中做出的决定。中等教育的SE研究生面临的困难是他们往往由一个团队进行,并且比传统的审查需要更多的努力。结论:中学学习对研究生很有价值。由于为开发整个项目提供的好处和贡献,他们应该考虑对其研究项目进行二次研究。但是,经验丰富的主管的建议对于避免偏见至关重要。此外,
