Editorial policy
How this research is published
Scope and review status
We publish evidence reviews, checked data extracts and practical guides to tennis development. Each page says whether it presents new analysis, a review of sources or external peer review. Work reviewed only by our editors is not peer-reviewed research.
Sourcing
We prefer peer-reviewed papers, official tour and federation records, research archives and current prices published by providers. Each numeric claim should state who was studied, the denominator or unit, the time period and the 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
Stakhovsky Tennis funds and publishes this hub. It is a commercial coaching practice. No outside sponsor funded the current work. Links to services are labelled and kept separate from research conclusions.
Authorship
Each page names its author and review status. New editorial guides are attributed to Stakhovsky Tennis. A coach's playing record is not evidence that he personally reviewed every research claim.
