  Over the past years, more secondary (Systematic Literature Reviews and
Systematic Mappings) and tertiary studies have been conducted. Their conduction
is considered a quite large task and labor-intensive since it involves a
detailed process including a protocol development, which is one of the most
challenging phase reported by the software engineering research community. In
this scenario, we propose a Secondary and Tertiary Study Canvas aiming to
simplify and clarify the understanding of the steps that need to be performed
during the secondary and tertiary process conduction, including the protocol
development. For this, we synthesized and organized the existing secondary
studies' protocols in a Canvas format as well as suggesting a step-based
approach to assist the secondary and tertiary studies' conduction.
