Score Calculator for Relevance and Pertinence Criteria in Systematic Literature Reviews

This file provides a scoring system designed to evaluate the relevance and pertinence of primary studies included in a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The evaluation is based on the following scale: 1 point if the study explicitly addressed each question, 0.5 points if it partially answered, and 0 points if the question was not addressed. The final score of each primary study is calculated by summing the points assigned across all criteria, with a possible range from 0 to 13. The scoring was initially assigned by one of the authors and subsequently verified by two others to ensure consistency. A low score did not automatically disqualify a study from the SLR; instead, the scores served to categorize the articles by relevance and importance, providing a foundation for future research endeavors, including potential tertiary studies by other researchers.
