I decided I needed to go outside the standard process and post publicly about the “typo” on LinkedIn. Days later, I heard that the journal would publish a correction. I was told the authors had submitted the correction before my post, but it had been misplaced and forgotten. I believe the journal’s new editor found this news to be as incredible as I did. He quickly published an erratum. I also submitted my replication to the Journal of Management Scientific Reports (JOMSR). This upstart publication was started in 2022 by a small group of courageous scholars who wanted to provide an outlet for replication studies like mine. I was impressed by their thorough reviews and tough guidance. In spring 2025, JOMSR published my replication study.
