recommendation exercise
Recommendations
• Require reporting of sex and/or gender of
study participants, animals or cells.
• Consider analyzing data by sex and/or
gender or providing the raw data
• Analyze the influence of sex and/or gender
on the results of the study
• Guidelines on performing analyses and
reporting the data
Internal Coordination
• Inventory of our journals that have already
adopted sex/gender reporting in their
