An International Journal provides a forum in which researchers and practitioners can report both original and replicated studies, varying from controlled experiments to field studies, from data intensive to qualitative.
Preference is given to studies that can be replicated or expanded upon.
The aim of such studies is to expose, in an experimental setting, the primitives of software engineering. Papers on the infrastructure for supporting experimentation are also published. The focus of the special issue is on ethics related to research in Empirical Software Engineering. If you need more information, please refer to the CFP .
