“…The second fact was that almost most case studies used two levels of analysis to enhance the generalizability of conclusions drawn from cases, including within-case and acrosscase analysis (Moghadam et al, 2021). The third fact was that many studies adopt a single case study approach rather than a multiple case study approach (Çakar & Aykol, 2021).…”

“…The main advantage of a case study was that researchers might use case studies for mainly unexplored or underexamined topics for which little or scarce empirical evidence existed (Çakar & Aykol, 2021). Another advantage was that researchers and implementors might engage with the complex implementation process and inform data collection by tracking changes over time (Van Tiem et al, 2021).…”

This research aimed to understand the differences in research methods adopted between Chinese and international e-commerce research and provided suggestions and recommendations for further research agenda in e-commerce post-COVID-19. This research studied 4,425 Chinese publications between 2015 and 2019 compared to international reviews in e-commerce research. Twelve findings were discussed: 1) Most of China's e-commerce publications (80.24%) did not state any research method. 2) Mixed methods have been well-adopted in China's e-commence research (35.05%), including quantitative-mixed, qualitative-mixed, and quantitative-qualitative mixed methods. They were highly adopted compared to other studies. 3) Survey methods (27.97%) were predominantly single research - purely quantitative method in Chinese research, but they were still behind international research. 4) Case studies (14.05%) were adopted as the second single method in Chinese research. This finding was significantly different from international views. 5) There were different views on whether laboratory experiments should be considered a research method. 6) Document and text analysis methods were reported by Chinese scholars (6.48%), but less and even not be reported internationally. 7) The focus group method was less adopted internationally. 8) The content analysis method (0.84%) was less adopted in Chinese research and was not reported by international scholars. 9) The observation method (0.6%) was less adopted in Chinese research but more adopted in Ain et al. (2019) (2%). Other international studies reported no studies. 10) Interviews (0.36%) were least adopted in Chinese research but highly reported by international scholars. 11) Field study, secondary, and Delphi methods were only adopted in international research, and 12) The correlational research method was not reported in e-commerce research. The main contributions of this study could be stated: Being valuable for researchers interested in Chinese e-commerce research; Adding research value for comparing reviews in e-commerce research methods.

“…It is a notion for detecting, evaluating, and inferring the present works associated with a specific research question/subject [19][20][21][22]. Scholars have tested the research, chosen the assessment devices, and extracted them [23][24][25]. They have also extracted the elements and pointers, integrated them, and proposed them in an outline to assess the BGP and SDN mechanism.…”

The Implementation of Border Gateway Protocol Using Software-Defined Networks: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2021

As a global community, the Internet is comprised of thousands of administrative entities that operate and interact with each other. Transferring data among these entities is possible due to the process of routing, which is challenging due to the lack of centrality. Consequently, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) can play a vital role in the routing process as a central hub for disseminating routing information to the various autonomous systems. Yet, the BGP poses security vulnerability due to the difficulty of validation and authentication. Recent studies argue that it would be beneficial to apply the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) approach to address some of the BGP problems. The SDN can help handle BGP-based networks at a low cost and with minimal complexity. However, there are still many scientific and operational problems in this field of study. The main objective of this paper is to identify the challenges that the BGP facing with respect to the adoption of the SDN. The findings revealed that most researchers focused on improving convergence time, while other essential features such as scalability and privacy were overlooked.

“…Following this broad overview of qualitative research, Çakar and Aykol (2021) provide a more nuanced critique of case study method applications. Their research is based on a systematic literature review of 871 case studies published in 10 leading hospitality and tourism journals during the past several decades (1974–2020).…”
