  Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs) play an important role in the
Evidence-Based Software Engineering scenario. With the advance of the computer
science field and the growth of research publications, new evidence
continuously arises. This fact impacts directly on the purpose of keeping SLRs
up-to-date which could lead researchers to obsolete conclusions or decisions
about a research problem or investigation. Creating and maintaining SLRs
up-to-date demand a significant effort due to several reasons such as the rapid
increase in the amount of evidence, limitation of available databases and lack
of detailed protocol documentation and data availability. Conventionally, in
software engineering SLRs are not updated or updated intermittently leaving
gaps between updates during which time the SLR may be missing important new
research. In order to address these issues, we propose the concept, process and
tooling support of Continuous Systematic Literature Review (CSLR) in SE aiming
to keep SLRs constantly updated with the promotion of open science practices.
This positional paper summarizes our proposal and approach under development.
