Goog editorial policies in gender issues

Pulso. Revista de educación is pledged to defend gender equality, to give visibility to the scientific works of female researchers and promote the use of inclusive language in scientific publications.

Specifically, this is carried out through the following actions:

  • Maintaining gender parity in the journal’s Editorial Team
  • Having a minimum percentage of 50% of female reviewers.
  • In articles, it is recommended to replace the use of the generic masculine with other non-discriminatory terms (such as collective nouns or gender-neutral adjectives), to avoid expressions that perpetuate gender stereotypes and to employ strategies to make language as inclusive as possible, following the UN guidelines for gender-inclusive language or APA Bias-free Language
  • Requiring authors to inform whether the research’s data take sex and/or gender into account or not, with the intention of identifying any differences that may result from it.
  • Use of complete names of authors in the works published by the journal.
