What does it mean to be sensitive to individuals and bias-free in text?
Being sensitive to individuals and bias-free in text means using language that respects all individuals and avoids introducing biases. This includes using person-first language, distinguishing between sex and gender, avoiding assumptions or superiority, and refraining from exclusionary or offensive terms. It's important to follow specific guidelines provided by journals to ensure inclusive and unbiased language. Watch our editor Tiffany Leonard talk about this.
