Abstract
In order to draw valid conclusions when aggregating evidence it is important to describe the context in which industrial studies were conducted. This paper structures the context for empirical industrial studies and provides a checklist. The aim is to aid researchers in making informed decisions concerning which parts of the context to include in the descriptions. Furthermore, descriptions of industrial studies were surveyed.
