Gender Equality and Diversity Policy

Revista Latina de Comunicación Social is committed to the active promotion of gender equality and inclusion in scholarly communication, in alignment with the ethical principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and international recommendations on equity in academic publishing.

To this end, the journal encourages the use of non-sexist and inclusive language in all submitted texts. Although the use of non-sexist language is not a mandatory requirement for the acceptance of manuscripts, authors are expected to follow editorial recommendations aimed at ensuring inclusive language that is respectful of diversity and aligned with the principles of equality. These suggestions may be made at any stage of the editorial process.

The journal also encourages the integration of sex and gender analysis in research design, methodologies, and the presentation of results, whenever relevant. This approach enhances the quality, scientific rigor, and social relevance of the published work.

The journal ensures the publication of the full names of all authors, avoiding the exclusive use of initials, in order to equitably recognize the contributions of both women and men to science. Furthermore, the composition of the editorial team and the peer review system are designed to ensure institutional, geographic, and gender diversity, fostering an inclusive and plural editorial culture.

Commitment to Gender Equality and Diversity
Revista Latina de Comunicación Social endorses the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion promoted by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), recognizing that editorial quality is strengthened by the plural representation of voices at all levels of the editorial process. Therefore, the journal is committed to guaranteeing equal opportunities in the selection of authors, reviewers, and editorial team members, promoting gender equity, institutional and geographic diversity, and the elimination of all forms of discrimination.
