A Systematic Mapping Study is an instrument frequently used to carry out a search process, identification, and classification of studies in different fields. Researchers in front of this type of process have a challenge while managing the data about these studies. This paper presents a software tool that has been created to help those who need to build a systematic mapping study. In addition, this work follows the evidence-based software engineering approach and extends it through a software tool by including different ways of adapting this process.
