Group & Organizational Management (GOM) has made an explicit commitment to publishing replication research and contributing to an ecosystem that supports replication research in the organizational sciences. By making this commitment, GOM joins journals such as Strategic Management Journal, The Leadership Quarterly, Entrepreneurship: Theory and Practice, and Journal of Management Scientific Reports in this endeavor.

As part of GOM's commitment to supporting replication research, this special issue aims to stimulate a continued stream of replication and reproducibility submissions to GOM well beyond the publication of this special issue. Focal studies (i.e., studies replicated or reproduced) are not required to have been published in GOM, but they should be of interest to GOM's audience.

Entrepreneurship research lacks a strong culture of replication despite its importance for building cumulative theory and validating findings. While many influential studies shape theoretical debates and practice, they have rarely been systematically retested to verify their robustness, stability over time, or applicability across different contexts. This special issue seeks to address this gap by encouraging rigorous replication studies of foundational empirical work in entrepreneurship.

The issue welcomes diverse methodological approaches to replication, from exact replications to reanalyses of original data and studies exploring boundary conditions and contextual factors. Rather than merely confirming prior findings, submissions should advance theoretical understanding by clarifying mechanisms, identifying when relationships hold or vary, and contributing to methodological best practices. All work will be evaluated on theoretical contribution and methodological rigor within the journal's standard review process.
