Abstract:Systematic literature reviews (SLR) require a lot of resources, expertise and rigor. They are quite unpractical in their usage and are quickly outdated. Nevertheless, SLRs can bring a lot of quality output in providing an overview of newly established field or in synthesising main approaches to guide foundational research in already established fields. This thesis utilises the method of a literature review to aggregate approaches and tools that can aid in the automation of systematic literature reviews. Six dimensions have been compiled in order for the organisation of the presentation of extracted data from the research articles, which are procedural aspects, search process, screening process, selection process, data-extraction process and collaborative aspects. Problems, causes and solutions are being discussed and elaborated on. Ultimately, the thesis elicits the discrepancy between the current and the desired situation and synthesises the approaches to provide suggestions for further research in automation approaches. The goal is to ask the question of how would the research community and beyond benefit, if the power of SLR could be harnessed at low cost and with high accessibility? The thesis addresses this question by attending to the role and usage of technologies in the field of systematic literature reviews.
