Résumé
Platform ecosystems have become an increasingly popular and important research topic in the last five years. Research on platform ecosystems has converged towards a shared understanding of what they are and why they thrive, However, despite the importance of standardization and the
increasing popularity and significance of platform ecosystems and despite their evident links, scholarly communities have not often studied the phenomena in combination. With this context and opportunity to offer new insights on the role of standardization in platform ecosystems, this
special issue aims to advance knowledge in this field.
