Résumé fourni par la source

# Replication Package — Intergenerational Dynamics in Software Engineering Teams: A Systematic Mapping Study ## Overview This repository contains the replication package associated with the systematic mapping study: **“Intergenerational Dynamics in Software Engineering Teams: A Systematic Mapping Study”** The package provides the main research artifacts used throughout the study, from the definition of the research questions and study selection process to data extraction, agreement analysis, and the evidence used to answer the research questions. The files are numbered according to the logical sequence of the research process. --- ## Repository Structure ### 001_Intergenerational Dynamics in SE Teams_A SMS_Research Questions **Content:** This file presents the research questions that guide the systematic mapping study. **Role in the research process:** It defines the analytical scope of the study and establishes the questions used to structure the subsequent stages of study selection, data extraction, analysis, and evidence synthesis. The research questions provide the basis for determining which information should be extracted from the primary studies and how the resulting evidence should be organized. --- ### 002_Intergenerational Dynamics in SE Teams_A SMS_Study Selection **Content:** This file documents the study selection process used to identify the primary studies included in the systematic mapping. **Role in the research process:** It records the application of the selection procedure and provides traceability between the initial set of retrieved publications and the final corpus of included studies. This artifact supports the reproducibility and transparency of the study selection stage. --- ### 003_Intergenerational Dynamics in SE Teams_A SMS_Selected Studies **Content:** This file contains the final set of primary studies included in the systematic mapping study. **Role in the research process:** It defines the final research corpus from which the study data were extracted and analyzed. The studies listed in this file constitute the empirical basis for the subsequent data extraction and evidence synthesis activities. --- ### 004_Intergenerational Dynamics in SE Teams_A SMS_Data Extraction **Content:** This file contains the data extracted from the selected primary studies. **Role in the research process:** It operationalizes the research questions by organizing the information collected from each included study according to the dimensions defined in the data extraction procedure. The extracted data serve as the input for the analysis and synthesis of evidence associated with the research questions. --- ### 005_Intergenerational Dynamics in SE Teams_A SMS_Agreement Analysis **Content:** This file contains the results of the agreement analysis conducted during the systematic mapping process. **Role in the research process:** It documents the level of agreement obtained during the relevant classification, selection, or data extraction activities performed by the researchers. This artifact contributes to the methodological transparency of the study by recording the consistency of the decisions made during the research process. --- ### 006_Intergenerational Dynamics in SE Teams_A SMS_Evidences RQ1_2_3_4 **Content:** This file consolidates the evidence extracted and organized for the four research questions addressed by the study. **Role in the research process:** It represents the final evidence synthesis stage of the systematic mapping study. The file connects the extracted information from the primary studies to the corresponding research questions and provides the evidence base used to support the findings reported in the manuscript. The evidence is organized according to: - **RQ1** - **RQ2** - **RQ3** - **RQ4** --- ## Relationship Between the Files The artifacts should be interpreted according to the following research workflow: ```text Research Questions ↓ Study Selection ↓ Selected Studies ↓ Data Extraction ↓ Agreement Analysis ↓ Evidence Synthesis ↓ Answers to RQ1–RQ4
