Abstract
Objective of the study is to calculate: a) grey literature evidence in the selected Systematic literature reviews (SLRs); b) Google Scholar indexing for the extracted primary studies from the selected SLRs. We have randomly selected 20+ SLRs from Science Direct, IEEE Xplore, Springer Link and ACM. Result: a) Random selection of 20+ SLRs and grey literature calculation verifies that the grey literature percentage ranges around 5.7% to 9.1%; b) The second phase showed that Google Scholar was successful in retrieving around ~91% of the primary studies.
