“…In contrast, a natural experiment is a special case of observational study, where some units have experienced the treatment and others have not, but the treatment assignment is not randomized. In some cases, the assignment can be treated as quasi random, while in other cases causal identification is achieved by a difference-in-difference strategy, sometimes with data preprocessed by a matching or synthetic control method to achieve better comparability of treatment and control units (e.g., Arslan et al, 2019). Other approaches such as regression discontinuity design (Calvo et al, 2019) and instrumental variables (Angrist & Keueger, 1991) can also be used, as permitted by data and context.…”

A recent trend in management journals is to involve specialized methods editors to check for the quality of an article's empirical execution (Antonakis et al., 2019;Bergh & Oswald, 2020;Hardwicke et al., 2019). The Journal of Operations Management (JOM) has been engaging methods specialists explicitly in the review process for about 5 years now. The initial transition into a matrix organization (Guide & Ketokivi, 2015), in which each article is assigned to a subject area editor (vertical) and, if necessary, also a review-team member specializing in a method or a theory (horizontal) was superseded by the creation of the Empirical Research Methods in Operations Management (now shortened to just Empirical Research Methods, ERM) department by the current editors-in-chief (Browning & de Treville, 2018). In this editorial, we give an overview of the current operations of the ERM department, present a collection of common method issues we have gathered, and discuss the strategic direction of the department.The ERM department serves our research community in two ways: (1) by publishing manuscripts about the use of ERM in OM and (2) by performing method checks for incoming manuscripts before they go to a topical department. Both roles align with the journal's evolution in recent years in terms of methodological rigor. We will address these two roles in turn.
