Vibe Coding in Software Development: A Multivocal Literature Review

This dataset is associated with the paper titled "Vibe Coding in Software Development: A Multivocal Literature Review" It is stored in a Microsoft Excel file that consists of several worksheets. Below is a simplified description of each worksheet. (1) The 'Summary' worksheet provide an overview of the four phases involved in the study selection process, including the search strings executed in selected databases during and the outcomes of each phases. (2) The 'Inclusion-Exclusion Criteria' worksheet provide the inclusion and exclusion criteria applied to peer-reviewed and grey sources during selection. (3) The 'Phase 1' worksheet lists the studies identified in the initial search phase, detailing the results of applying custom search strings across various databases. (4) The 'Phase 2' worksheet list the studies that remained after the title and keyword screening. (5) The 'Phase 3' worksheet contains the studies that passed the abstract-based screening phase. (6) The 'Phase 4' worksheet lists the final selection of studies that have been selected full-text screening process but befroe snowballing. (7) The 'GL' worksheet provide grey-literature search and selection (candidate grey sources with metadata and screening outcome). (8) The 'Snowballing' worksheet provide the sources added through snowballing. (9) The 'List of Selected Studies' worksheet list the selected studies that we selected after the primary and secondry search. (10) The 'QA - Peer-Reviewed Literature' worksheet provide the quality assessment of the peer-reviewed sources using the Dyba and Dingsoyr 11-item checklist, with per-item scores. (11) The 'QA - Grey Literature' worksheet provide the credibility assessment of the grey sources using the Garousi et al. 15-item checklist, with per-item scores and credibility tiers. (12) The 'Data Extraction' worksheet compiles detailed information extracted from the selected studies, focusing on data relevant to the research questions. (13) The 'Demography Analysis' worksheet provides demographic information about the studies, such as authors' affiliations, types of studies, and publication venues. (14) The 'Codebook' worksheet list the analytical codebook (each code with its definition, keywords, research-question tag, and include or exclude notes). (15) The 'Code Frequency by RQ' worksheet list the frequency of each code by research question and evidence stream (academic and grey). (16) The 'Thematic Synthesis by RQ' worksheet provide codes grouped into themes per research question, with counts (all, academic, grey) and the contributing Paper IDs. (17) The 'Evidence Map' worksheet provide a compact map linking each research question to its themes, codes, and contributing sources (peer-reviewed and grey counts). (18) The 'Data Coding' worksheet lists the per-paper coding sheet (one row per source with the codes assigned under each research question and the supporting trace and excerpts).
