Abstract

Performing a literature review is a critical first step in research to understanding the state-of-the-art and identifying gaps and challenges in the field. A systematic literature review is a method which sets out a series of steps to methodically organize the review. In this paper, we present a guide designed for researchers and in particular early-stage researchers in the computer-science field. The contribution of the article is the following:•Clearly defined strategies to follow for a systematic literature review in computer science research, and•Algorithmic method to tackle a systematic literature review.
