Editorial Note

Scientific research goes beyond mere replication and includes a broader concept known as robustness, which entails applying diverse analyses to the same dataset. In this editorial note, we delve into the significance of replication research within the field of cybersecurity. Furthermore, we explore various genres of replication studies and their relative importance. The Journal of Information Systems Security actively encourages the publication of replication studies, and the primary objective of this editorial note is to establish comprehensive guidelines for such studies.
