Entrepreneurship research, like many social sciences, faces challenges related to publication bias, selective reporting, and limited replicability of findings. While transparency and open science initiatives have gained traction in psychology and other fields, entrepreneurship research has been slower to adopt preregistration and registered reports. This special issue seeks to advance entrepreneurship scholarship by promoting transparency, replicability, and rigorous methodology through preregistration, registered reports, and registered revisions.
We welcome submissions that demonstrate how preregistration, registered reports, and registered revisions can enhance entrepreneurship research quality. Studies using these methods to examine key entrepreneurship questions, as well as methodological papers discussing implementation challenges, best practices, and frameworks for adoption within the entrepreneurship community, are encouraged.
