Papers will be submitted via the EasyChair page of the TMJ with an indication of a 'suggested editor'. The Management Committee will contact the suggested editor and ask whether he or she is willing to become the responsible editor for the submission. If not, the Management Committee will select an appropriate editor

The responsible editor will send the paper to referees (in principle, a paper should get two positive reviews in order to get accepted), trying to get reviews in a reasonable time of six to twelve weeks after submission. If there is radical disagreement between the reports, the editor may consult further referees. Based on the reports, the responsible editor may request rewriting and revision of the paper from the author. If consensus is reached that the paper is of suitable originality and quality then the responsible editor posts his or her recommendation (together with the referee reports) on the EasyChair page. The Management Committee will then solicit comments within a period of two weeks (via the EasyChair system). After this period, typically, the Management Committee will follow the recommendation of the responsible editor, but it reserves the right to solicit further advice before making the final decision on rejection or acceptance. The decision of the Management Committee is final.

After a positive decision of the Management Committee, the author is informed that his or her paper has been accepted and asked to send the final LaTeX file to the Editorial Office at tmj.office-at-gmail.com for publication.

The Management Committee consists of the Editor-in-Chief and the Managing Editors. The Management Committee will try to limit the number of pages per volume to 400. If necessary, accepted papers may be held over for publication in the next volume. The Management Committee may invite guest editors for 'Thematic Corners'. A thematic corner may consist of three to five closely connected invited papers plus a short editorial introduction written by the guest editor(s). The papers invited for a thematic corner will be refereed according to the standards for regular submissions.
