1. The presence of 40% or more women on the Editorial Team, taking into account all positions and elective bodies measured jointly.
2. A minimum of 40% of women as reviewers of the submissions to the journal.
3. Specific recommendations in favour of the use of gender-inclusive and non-sexist language in articles, research notes, and book reviews, as stated in the section Author Guidelines, where it is advisable to consult the Guidelines for the Use of Non-Sexist Languages.
4. The inclusion of the full name of the authors of the published works, avoiding initials, particles, and abbreviations.
5. Recommendation to the authors to include, where appropriate, a sex/gender analysis that addresses the relevance of this variable in the research design, methodological proposal, results, discussion, and limitations, as well as to include a discussion of the results and limitations of the study.
6. Recommendation to the authors to report on whether the conclusions have taken into account possible sex/gender differences. See Author Guidelines.
