Abstract
As a relatively new research field, community smells have received a lot of attention in recent years. This study aims to identify, evaluate, and synthesize previous works on community smells using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) Protocol. Initially, a total of 125 research papers were retrieved from three electronic databases based on our defined search string. 21 papers were finally selected based on the selection criteria to be synthesized and analyzed in detail. After analyzing the documents, the research trends and approaches adopted in community smell research are discussed and presented Besides, the gaps in this domain have been identified. We concluded that more studies need to be done in this specific area to address the gaps.
