IEEE Xplore is a web-based digital library that houses over three million documents in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science, and electronics. This coincides with the goals of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) who published it. The databases not only house technical standards, but also journals, proceedings, and eBooks from IEEE.

All searches were conducted in March, 2020. Databases searched for this systematic review were Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ERIC, and Google Scholar. Web of Science is a subscription-based scientific indexing platform that provides comprehensive citation data across many disciplines. The Web of Science Core Collection is made up of six databases. PubMed is a database maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information and includes more than 30 million citations primarily related to life sciences and biomedical topics. Scopus is an abstract and citation database launched by Elsevier. Scopus includes book series, trade journals, and journals related to life sciences, social sciences, health sciences, and the physical sciences. IEEE Xplore is a digital library that provides access to over five million publications related to electrical engineering, computer science, and electronics. More than 20,000 new documents are added to the IEEE Xplore library every month. The ERIC Collection is an online library that was established in 1966. ERIC is currently sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences by the United States Department of Education. It includes various types of publications including journal articles, books, conference papers, technical reports, dissertations, and more. The ERIC dataset includes over 1.5 million records which are largely available in Adobe PDF format. Google Scholar is a free search engine that indexes full text and metadata of the literature including peer-reviewed manuscripts, conference papers, dissertations, preprints, technical reports, patents, and other scholarly works. Google Scholar is estimated to include approximately 400 million documents in its index. Google Scholar was also searched as it has emerged as being the go-to academic search tool for many in the field due to its ease-of-use and convenience (Gusenbauer & Haddaway, 2020). However, while Google Scholar’s immense dataset serves as a multidisciplinary collection of knowledge, it lacks many of the features required for conducting a systematic search such as the ability to specify tailored queries with high recall and precision. Therefore, this search engine was only used as a secondary tool to seek literature that may have been missed in the full systematic review of the electronic databases (Gusenbauer & Haddaway, 2020; Haddaway et al., 2015).
