Testing the Shoulders of Giants: Replication Research Using Registered Reports

This editorial encourages supply chain management researchers to conduct and submit replication research for publication consideration to the  Journal of Supply Chain Management . The Journal is particularly interested in efforts to replicate both recently published papers that have the potential to change the direction of the discipline and highly influential or “seminal” papers in the supply chain management discipline, regardless of where they were initially published. The Journal will be using the registered report process for these submissions to create strong incentives for researchers to conduct replication studies.
