How are software repositories mined? A systematic literature review of workflows, methodologies, reproducibility, and tools

This is the excel spreadsheet dataset containing our analysis of papers performing mining software repositories research from the conferences ICSE, ESEC/FSE, and MSR from the years 2018 - 2020. The data is broken into columns and can be explained at a high-level as follows: Column Content 1 The paper being analyzed 2 Does the paper state the data they analyzed is available 3 Does the paper perform some sort of data analysis or sampling using data others have compiled in the past 4 Does the paper state a timestamp for when they begin their work 5 Does the paper state the use of systems pre-built to help with MSR work 6 - 18 Forms of sampling researchers may have employed to select their data 19 What datasets (if any) were used in the analysis 20 What tools (if any) were used in the analysis 21 How they performed their data sampling workflow 22 How they performed their data filtering workflow 23 How they performed their data retrieval workflow 24 Did they create any scripts in each of these workflows 25 - 33 Did they publish a replication package and what is contained within 34 Is the paper describing a tool for research or not 35 Short description of the paper read 36 A high-level category of the work performed in each paper
