ABSTRACT
This paper proposes the questions and method to conduct a research intending to promote the first steps towards a better integration between evidence from systematic reviews and software engineering practice. First, we are planning to conduct a tertiary study to identify systematic reviews in software engineering. Second, we intend to investigate how those reviews relate to practitioners' issues reported in a leading software engineering Question & Answer platform. Third, we plan to generate and evaluate Evidence Briefings from those reviews in order to establish a medium to transfer knowledge acquired from systematic reviews to practice. This paper also presents some preliminary results from pilot studies we have been conducting.

Evidence Briefings: Towards a Medium to Transfer Knowledge from Systematic Reviews to Practitioners
ESEM '16: Proceedings of the 10th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and MeasurementContext: Integrate research evidence with practice is one of the main goals of evidence-based software engineering. However, recent studies show that the connection between systematic reviews and practitioners has not fully established.
Goal: This paper ...
The use of systematic reviews in evidence based software engineering: a systematic mapping study
ESEM '14: Proceedings of the 8th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and MeasurementContext. A decade ago, Kitchenham, Dybå and Jørgensen argued that software engineering could benefit from an evidence-based research approach similar that that used in medicine, introducing the basis for Evidence Based Software Engineering (EBSE). ...
Engaging the net generation with evidence-based software engineering through a community-driven web database
Software engineering faculty face the challenge of educating future researchers and industry practitioners regarding the generation of empirical software engineering studies and their use in evidence-based software engineering. In order to engage the ...
