Rapid reviews

[4] During the COVID-19 pandemic rapid reviews were employed to answer pressing questions under strict time constraints.

[2][5] For Software Engineering, Rico et al.[6] have recently adapted and extended the rapid review method.

Their proposal takes into account the unique requirements of industry-academia collaboration in SE research.

The extension proposed by them highlights the ways in which practitioners and researchers can collaborate in the planning, design and conduct of a rapid review.

[6] The guidelines by Rico et al.[6] have been used in two rapid reviews, one on machine learning[7] and another on software component selection[8]
