Abstract—Systematic Review has become an essential
scientific method to research in Computer Science, mainly
because interdisciplinary studies and scientific research in the
Internet are demanding it. This work provides a further
analysis on the subject through a systematic review in the
domain of Computer Science, which was performed using
scientific papers databases relevant to Computer Science, from
the years 2006 to 2012. Our research has shown that 75.5% of
the total number of papers are concentrated in the top 10
journals. Only 54.9% of the papers declared in the keywords
that it was a systematic review, and only 75.7% declared it in
their title. Additionally, our research has verified that 59.8% of
the papers are directly related to Software Engineering.
Index Terms—Computer science, technology and education,
interdisciplinary research, software engineering, systematic
review.
