Jama are running a consultation on a style guide. Just thought it might be of interest. Ends Sept 30th.
JAMA, published continuously since 1883, is an international peer-reviewed general medical journal. JAMA is a member of the JAMA Network, a consortium of peer-reviewed, general medical and specialty publications.
As we have previously acknowledged,
terminology, usage, and word choice are critically important in medical and scientific publication, particularly when describing people. Inclusive language recognizes diversity and conveys respect, but noninclusive language may convey bias toward or against persons or groups based on their assumed or self-identified characteristics or demographics and must be avoided. Guidance on use of terms to describe gender, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and age in medical and scientific publication must address and balance challenging concepts and goals to promote clarity, inclusiveness, respect, and fairness.
