- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of inclusive language in medical and scientific publications when describing people. It emphasizes the need to avoid noninclusive language that may convey bias and instead use terminology that promotes clarity, inclusiveness, respect, and fairness. The article also mentions the draft guidance on reporting gender, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and age in medical and scientific publications, which provides recommendations for accurate and respectful language usage. The guidance is open for public review and comment until September 30, 2024, and will be revised and published in the AMA Manual of Style.
