EDITORIAL

Abstract

The Turf Law Journal is now in its fourth year of publication, having gone live for the first time in 2021. The journal has gone from strength to strength. True to its purpose of publishing high-quality articles that seek to reaffirm alternative thinking, the journal has thus far attracted contributions from across the continent. The current volume – volume 4 – is an incredible milestone for the journal. It is being published in the same year that the journal was indexed by African Journals Online (AJOL) under the two-star Journal Publishing Practices and Standards (JPPS). AJOL is a reputable indexer of African journals, offering a unique publication standards system to assess each journal based on relevant best practices and informed by globally, regionally and nationally accepted standards. Since AJOL indexed the TLJ, the journal’s visibility has improved, resulting in more articles being submitted to the journal for consideration. This greatly encourages the editorial team to adhere to internationally acceptable publishing standards.
