Open Source Software (OSS) is a field of study with
increasing interest of researchers. By its nature, OSS is
especially suitable for empirical research. A great
number of OSS related empirical studies have been
conducted, but no effort has been made to
systematically review the published evidence. This
paper presents the results of a systematic review to
investigate research topics and used methods in OSS
related research. We present our results as facts and
trends in this field and provide directions for future
research.
