OPEN SCIENCE, REPRODUCIBILITY AND REPLICABILITY IN ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEMS: A CONTEMPORARY EXAMPLE

This editorial aims to encourage the academic community to reflect on the relevance of reproduction and replication studies, the importance of open science principles, and the challenges of contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge. It is a call to the collective responsibility of adding new knowledge to the field by testing, validating (or refuting) previous findings, with the goal of building stronger consensus on what EEs should, ultimately, be expected to produce.
