Literature reviews use to be the seed of most of the investigations and research activities. They are usually simple to execute and mostly are performed ad-hoc. However, ad-hoc literature reviews present low scientific power due to a possible lack of replicability, coverage and non-influenced discussions. Therefore, researchers have invested along the years to provide support to more systematic literature reviews, including different strategies such as mapping studies, (quasi) Systematic Literature Reviews and currently, Rapid Reviews.  This talk intends to discuss these different review strategies and their features into the context of Evidence-Based Software Engineering.
