Abstract

Through a systematic mapping of the literature, this paper aims to map studies directly related to social network analysis in the context of collaboration in software development. We seek to list the key authors and data sources used by the primary studies. Also, identify the main metrics of social network analysis and research methods used.

Keywords: Social Network Analysis, Systematic Mapping, Software Projects
