02 / Editorial Standards

One journal. Shared editorial principles.

TMJ contributors are expected to work within the publication’s editorial standards: make factual claims precise, distinguish established information from interpretation and verify records, statistics, quotations and historical details when they require checking.

The subject and writing style may change from one author to another, but readers should still be able to expect clear scope, useful context and an article that adds something beyond a basic summary.

03 / How We Work

The byline is only the beginning.

Author expertise matters, but so does the work behind the page. TMJ articles may require source checks, competition-boundary checks, historical verification, statistical reconciliation or updates when active records change.

That editorial process is designed to keep each article useful after publication, whether the subject is a century-old rivalry, a current player, a ranking or a record that continues to move.
