Abstract: The mission statement of Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) indicates that all empirical methods are welcome, including, but not limited to, qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, meta-analytic, and mixed methods.Over the years, it is clear that the journal has expanded the range of methodologies and types of data that have appeared in published papers -both in terms of qualitative (Bansal & Corley, 2011;Bansal, Smith, & Vaara, 2018) as well as quantitative research (George, Osinga, Lavie, & Scott, 2016).And yet, we believe that there are opportunities to further open up the journal's methods repertoire, both to new methodologies, and to existing methodologies that may sometimes have been missing from the journal's pages, even though they can support scholars in making strong empirical and theoretical contributions to the management field.This editorial essay aims to call attention to some of these opportunities.In doing so, we build on the transformational agenda laid out by Editor-in-Chief Marc Gruber for the 23 rd editorial team (Gruber, 2023).At the same time, this is an opportunity to introduce readers to three of the five new methods experts who have joined the 23 rd editorial team specifically to support editors, reviewers and authors to engage with methods that might perhaps be less familiar to all readers and reviewers of the journal -Emma Bell, Paul Bliese and Curtis LeBaron.Their involvement is intended to ensure that AMJ is able to fairly assess research that draws on a wide range of methodologies, and that the journal continues to publish the best, most insightful and most impactful work in the management field.Their participation is also intended to signal to prospective authors that the journal is open and welcoming towards manifold types of methods, data and analytical approaches.
