Based on this retrieved dataset, an effort is given to provide clarity, up-to-date knowledge, and ongoing insights into University Archives research studies over the last 15 years. This will give a clear view to the university archivists and researchers regarding the nature of the topic and how it is investigated and evolved until now by prior relevant research efforts (Hart, 2018). To achieve this goal, in this literature review, we deployed the proposed methodology of Kitchenham (2004). This methodology involves five sequential steps: i)the identification of related studies, ii)the studies selection, iii)the studies quality assessment, the iv)data extraction and data synthesis. The dataset contains information regarding 49 papers and their metadata. That is, Title, Year of Publication, Type of Publication, URL to the publication, Citation of the Publication in APA, and the Abstract of each research document.
