Editorial standards

Useful software guidance should make the basis for a decision visible. These are the standards for TeamStack Journal content.

Research and testing are different

A research-based article is not presented as a hands-on review. We do not invent test results, user experiences, expert endorsements, or product ratings. When we publish testing, the article should identify the version, method, and conditions.

Prices need context

Software pricing depends on package, billing term, usage, and eligibility. Product-specific prices should carry their source and the date checked. Arithmetic examples are labeled illustrative and are not vendor offers.

Images and authorship

AI-generated illustrations are labeled and do not represent real product interfaces or verified customer teams. Articles credited to TeamStack Journal are publication-level editorial content; we do not invent individual staff biographies or credentials. AI assistance is used in drafting and production.

Advertising

Any display advertisements added to this publication should be labeled and distinguishable from editorial content. Paid relationships and affiliate links should be disclosed where they appear. Advertising does not establish a product recommendation.

Maintaining articles

Product comparisons require review as vendors change their offerings. The article date should reflect actual publication or substantive updates, and sources should be checked when product-specific claims change.
