Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Only 2 of the 33 included studies were conducted in industrial settings, with the remainder academic. → Diego Dermeval 2018
q3 i? Illustrative scenarios were the most common research method among included studies, and the review flags the high number of papers without empirical evaluation as a community concern. → Diego Dermeval 2018 (2)

q3 · i? · review · r3
Overview of the 33 included studies categorising application context as industry or academic. The review reports that "Most the papers (31 studies) are considered academic" and notes only 6% of papers are applied in an industrial context.
"Most the papers (31 studies) are considered academic, while 2 studies (S03 and S32) were conducted in an industrial setting."

q3 · i? · review · r3
Overview classifying research methods by Easterbrook et al. categories plus two extra categories. The review reports illustrative scenarios as the majority (39.39%; 13 studies) and controlled experiments at 27.27% (9 studies), and states the number of papers without empirical evaluation "is still high and deserves attention by the community".
"Fifteen papers (45.45%) are concerned in conducting empirical studies (i.e., controlled experiment, case study, and survey) on the applications of authoring tools ITS design."
