• Title: A Metascience Study of the Impact of Low-Code Techniques in Modeling Publications
• Abstract summary: We present a metascience study of Low-Code. Our study has a two-fold approach: (1) to examine the composition (size and diversity) of the emerging Low-Code community; and (2) to investigate how this community differs from the "classical" model-driven community in terms of people, venues, and types of publications.

• Abstract: In the last years, model-related publications have been exploring the application of modeling techniques in different domains. Initially focused on UML and the Model-Driven Architecture approach, the literature has been evolving towards the usage of more general concepts such as Model-Driven Development or Model-Driven Engineering. With the emergence of Low-Code software development platforms, the modeling community has been studying how these two fields may combine and benefit from each other, thus leading to the publication of a number of works in recent years. In this paper, we present a metascience study of Low-Code. Our study has a two-fold approach: (1) to examine the composition (size and diversity) of the emerging Low-Code community; and (2) to investigate how this community differs from the "classical" model-driven community in terms of people, venues, and types of publications. Through this study, we aim to benefit the low-code community by helping them better understand its relationship with the broader modeling community. Ultimately, we hope to trigger a discussion about the current and possible future evolution of the low-code community as part of its consolidation as a new research field.
