5. WRITING AND GENDER PERSPECTIVE

Cuestiones de Género recommends the use of non-sexist and inclusive language in texts submitted for publication.
In research involving the participation of the population (including children, youth, and adults), the relevance of incorporating sex or gender as an analytical variable will be considered, and whether this has influenced the results obtained will be established. Therefore, it is expected that the results will mention differences between the sexes or those due to gender relations, or, conversely, the absence of differences.
In order to highlight the work of men and women, the full names of the people cited in the text should be cited in the reference list, avoiding initials as much as possible.

Cuestiones de Género Journal uses the Harvard style for citations and bibliographic references. In Harvard style, the in-text citation is formatted as author-date, and the bibliographic references appear at the end of the document in the form of a list ordered by author and year of publication.

This format uses the author-date citation system between the text of the document (Indirect citation: Poncela, 2011; Direct citation: Blanco García, 2021: 23) and the bibliographic references at the end of the document in the form of a list ordered by author and year of publication.

In-text citations should be provided using the last name and year in parentheses for indirect citations (Elias 1982); and using the last name, year, and page(s) for direct citations (Rodríguez, Megías, and Sánchez Moreno, 2002: 125).

The bibliography should be limited to the essential bibliography directly related to the submitted work, avoiding extensive commentary on the references mentioned.

Final references should be included in alphabetical order and should include the authors' first names. When the reference has a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), it must be indicated at the end. Ensure that links to electronic references are working correctly.

Papers whose references do not follow these instructions will be rejected.
