Diversity Policies

Revista Fuentes promotes and encourages diversity, equity and inclusion throughout the research and publication process. Therefore, the journal adopts a comprehensive approach to gender and recommends to authors and reviewers the application of practices that promote inclusion and equity in scientific articles.

1. Editorial composition and review

Revista Fuentes will ensure a balanced editorial composition of women and men, which will be reflected both in the different organs of the journal and in the persons in charge of the evaluation of the papers.

2. Use of inclusive and non-sexist language

Manuscripts written in Spanish should conform to the use of inclusive and non-sexist language. To this end, the following guidelines should be followed:

More detailed information can be found in this Orientation Guide, as well as the resources and reference guides on inclusive language in academic writing from the Real Academia Española (RAE), the Fundación del Español Urgente (FundéuRAE) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Texts in English must be written by persons competent in the use of the English language with expert command of the language within the field of knowledge on which the research is focused, and it is recommended to follow the inclusive language guidelines published by the United Nations.

3. Inclusion of sex/gender analysis in research

Authors are encouraged to include, when appropriate, a sex/gender analysis in their research that addresses the relevance of these variables in the research design, methodological approach, results, discussion and limitations of the study.

Similarly, the conclusions of the papers should take into account possible sex/gender differences, favoring a more equitable and complete interpretation of the findings.

4. Gender perspective in peer review

Revista Fuentes will incorporate the gender perspective in the review of the papers and in the evaluation reports, which will include specific instructions to the evaluation staff to assess whether the studies include an analysis disaggregated by sex and/or gender and whether they address its relevance in the research design, results, discussion and limitations.

With these actions, the journal is committed to fostering more equitable, representative and rigorous scientific communication in the educational and technological field.
