Protocol for a Tertiary study of Systematic Literature Reviews and Evidence-based Guidelines in IT and Software Engineering

Following these papers, staff at the Keele University School of Computing and Mathematics proposed a research project to investigate the feasibility of EBSE. This proposal was funded by the UK Economics and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC). The proposal was amended to include the Department of Computer Science, University of Durham when Professor David Budgen moved to Durham. The EPSRC have now funded a joint Keele and Durham follow-on project (EPIC).
