Table 11: _Cont._* The first column is the article code. * The following two columns show the GT classification. * The following six columns show the [GT **Elements**]. The present methodology incorporates the emergence of questions within the process of continuous iteration and their subsequent answering as the iterative process progresses. In this study, RQ4 was addressed. The results correspond to the six elements of the GTe, enabling a more comprehensive answer to the remaining research questions. For future work, we intend to address the other questions that are part of this study and that emerged during the application of the GSMS methodology.
