Finally, we check our search results by using the SCOPUS database—last updated on January 26, 2018. This time, we use the more specific search string “manual AND feature locat*” on abstracts, keywords, and titles. The resulting 37 documents contain no new relevant studies, wherefore we finally include seven studies in our review. The small number of mostly recent studies already indicates that more research on manual feature location may be necessary to improve our understanding of this task. We remark that DBLP as well as SCOPUS are databases that index publications from most important publishers in computer sciences, including ACM, IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, and Wiley.
