Use of Inclusive and Non-Sexist Language

EDUCA follows an editorial policy that includes specific recommendations in favor of the use of inclusive language in scientific articles. Authors must use terms that refer to all genders, such as: students, teaching staff, childhood, minors, people, human beings, faculty, research personnel, etc. Authors must also include both surnames of all individuals who participated in the research.

In line with our editorial policy, we strongly encourage authors to use inclusive and non-sexist language in their scientific manuscripts. These recommendations are intended to ensure that all works published in our journal respect and reflect the diversity of our scientific community, promoting equality and avoiding any form of discrimination.

Some guidelines to follow include:

• Use of Neutral Pronouns: Use inclusive pronouns or forms that encompass all genders when referring to individuals in general.

• Avoid Gender Stereotypes: Write in a way that avoids traditional gender roles and stereotypes.

• Neutral Language: Prefer gender-neutral terms such as “people” instead of “men” or “women,” unless specification is necessary.

• Equitable Acknowledgment: Ensure that the contributions of all persons involved in the research are recognized, regardless of gender.

• Forms of Reference: When referring to professionals, use titles and full names, rather than only surnames, to avoid gender bias.

These recommendations align with our commitment to equity and diversity in science. We appreciate the cooperation of all authors in implementing these practices in their manuscripts.

We also recommend that authors of published works based on research data that include the variable sex report whether the conclusions take possible sex-based differences into account.
