Editorial policy

How this research is published

Scope and review status

We publish evidence reviews, verified extracts and practical research guides about tennis development. Each asset states whether it is original analysis, an editorial synthesis or externally peer reviewed. We do not present editorial work as peer-reviewed scholarship.

Sourcing

Preference is given to peer-reviewed papers, official tour or federation records, institutional repositories and current first-party prices. Every quantitative claim should identify the population, denominator or unit, time period and source.

Data and licence

Stakhovsky Tennis-created tables and extracts are released under CC BY 4.0 unless an asset says otherwise. Underlying third-party publications retain their original rights.

Corrections

Material corrections are dated in the asset changelog without erasing the prior version. Send reproducible corrections to leo@stakhovskytennis.com.

Funding and commercial disclosure

This hub is funded and published by Stakhovsky Tennis, a commercial coaching practice. No external sponsor funded the current assets. Service links are labelled and kept separate from research conclusions.

Authorship

Editorial review is led by Leonard Stakhovsky and the Stakhovsky Tennis editorial team. Leonard’s playing record is linked to independent ATP, ITF and university sources on each research asset.
