• URLs are provided for references (where possible).

Diversity, inclusion and equality editorial standards

As Desde el Sur is committed to inclusive policies that aim to recognize diversity in the production of knowledge, we adhere to the following principles:

1. Editorial participation: The journal adopts measures that ensure a balanced editorial composition between women and men, as reflected in the journal’s bodies and on the Editorial Committee. 
2. Inclusive language when presenting texts in Spanish: We ask our authors to be as inclusive as possible with their language.
3. Avoiding stereotypes and gender roles: We urge authors to avoid stereotypes or gender roles. This means avoiding generalizations about the abilities or characteristics traditionally associated with a particular gender. Incorrect example: “Women are more emotional than men.” Correct example: “Emotions vary in all people regardless of gender.”
4. Choosing language, thoughtfully, and sensitively: We ask authors to take care with topics like age, appearance, disability, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, and socioeconomic status. Whenever possible, before referring to a group of people, a characteristic, or any other identifying language please ask or find out what their preferred terms are.
