We are pleased to announce the publication of this special issue on “The evolution of HRM Practices: Big Data, Data Analytics, and New Forms of Work” in the Review of Managerial Science. We extend our sincerest gratitude to our team of guest editors for their valuable contributions. However, we must express our apologies for an inadvertent oversight that occurred on the editorial side of the journal. As stated in the editorial by our guest editor team, the Special Issue was intended to have a paper authored by Dinuka Herath and Shelley Harrington and to conclude with a paper authored by Najam Zia, Ladislav Burita, and Yumei Yang. Regrettably, the paper by Herath/Harrington was mistakenly assigned to the July 2023 issue and the paper by Zia/Burita/Yang to the February 2023 issue of the journal, thus both papers have already been published. Therefore, we would like to draw the readers’ attention to our February and July issues to gain a comprehensive understanding of the papers referenced in the editorial.

In addition, we are augmenting the Special Issue with a paper authored by Angelika Lau and Mona Höyng which explores the relationship between digitalization and trust. This paper aligns perfectly with the theme of the Special Issue.
