SHShirin HeidariGraduate Institute of International and Development StudiesTBThomas F. BaborUniversity of ConnecticutPCPaola De CastroIstituto Superiore di Sanità

Key Points

  • Establish reporting guidelines to help authors, peer reviewers, and journal editors systematically integrate sex and gender dimensions into scientific publications.
  • Formulated standard reporting principles (the SAGER guidelines) tailored for researchers during manuscript preparation.
  • Outlined review workflows for journal editors to evaluate sex and gender reporting throughout the editorial review process.
  • Defined specific standards to ensure sex and gender variables are routinely described, analyzed, and discussed in published literature.
  • Established actionable criteria for journal editors to implement sex and gender assessment as a standard component of scientific peer review.

Abstract

The SAGER guidelines are designed primarily to guide authors in preparing their manuscripts, but they are also useful for editors, as gatekeepers of science, to integrate assessment of sex and gender into all manuscripts as an integral part of the editorial process.
