Authorship and Contributions Policy

The Cuestiones de Género journal uses the ORCID® persistent digital identifier as a system for standardizing authorship.

Our publication considers an author of a published work to be someone who has made a significant intellectual contribution to it. Following the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), to be listed as an author, the following requirements must be met:

1. Having participated in the conception and design, or in the acquisition of data, or in the analysis and interpretation of data, of the work that resulted in the article.
2. Having participated in the writing or critical revision of the text.
3. Having approved the version that will ultimately be published.

Those who do not meet these three criteria may only be acknowledged in the acknowledgments. To avoid the risk of fictitious or assumed authorship, it is recommended that all authors agree on their contributions and the order in which they will appear in the list of co-authors at the time of submission.

Authorship Contributions

This journal applies the CRediT taxonomy to research articles received from March 2025 onwards, with the intention of promoting recognition and facilitating transparency of authorship. To this end, all signatories of the article will be identified with roles that describe each person's contribution.

This information will be provided by the person submitting the article to the journal, who must ensure that the role assignment is accurate, that no symbolic authorship is included, and that the roles indicated have been agreed upon with the other authors of the article.

This information will appear in the publication itself, before the article's bibliography, and will be integrated into the article's metadata according to various international standards.

The roles proposed by CRediT are:

Conceptualization: Ideas; formulation or development of the overall research objectives and goals.

Data Curation: Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), clean data, and maintain research data (including software code, when necessary for interpretation) for initial use and subsequent reuse.

Formal Analysis: Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize the study data.

Funding: Obtaining financial support for the project that gives rise to this publication.

Research: Conducting a research process, specifically developing experiments or collecting data/evidence.

Methodology: Development or design of the methodology; creation of models.

Project Administration: Responsibility for managing and coordinating the planning and execution of the research activity.

Resources: Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing resources, or other analytical tools.

Software: Software programming and development; design of computer programs; implementation of computer code and supporting algorithms; testing of existing code components.

Supervision: Responsibility for oversight and leadership of the planning and execution of the research activity, including mentoring outside the core team.

Validation: Verification, either as part of the activity or separately, of the overall replication/reproducibility of results/experiments and other research products.

Visualization: Preparation, creation, and/or presentation of the published work, specifically the visualization/presentation of data.

Writing:

Original Draft: Preparation, creation, and/or presentation of the published work, specifically the writing of the initial draft (including substantial translation).

Writing, reviewing, and editing: Preparation, creation, and/or presentation of published work by members of the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary, or revision, including pre- and post-publication stages.
