Code of good practices concerning gender

This journal 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 Directorate, Editorial Secretariat, Editorial Board and Advisory Board.
• Having a minimum percentage of 40% of female reviewers.
• As regards inclusive language, the Didáctica. Lengua y Literatura journal adheres to the United Nations’ objective of “speaking and writing in a way that does not discriminate against a particular sex, social gender or gender identity” (https://www.un.org/es/gender-inclusive-language/index.shtml). Such aspiration must be compatible with the linguistic recommendations expressed by the Real Academia Española de la Lengua in its Informe sobre el lenguaje inclusivo y cuestiones conexas (https://www.rae.es/sites/default/files/Informe_lenguaje_inclusivo.pdf). This way, articles should not include suppositions about the beliefs of readers and should avoid statements concerning superiority relative to race, sex, culture or any other similar aspect. A language free of bias, using terms that avoid stereotypes, should be used while writing an article.
• 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.
