The objectives are to provide elements and resources for incorporating the gender perspective into all phases of the research project; to identify and incorporate contributions with a gender perspective into the field of research or its discipline to avoid androcentrism and heteronormativity; to be able to identify the inequalities and/or biases of sex-gender binarism intersecting with other conditions of inequality in the design of research, the data obtained or in the applicability of the results; reflect on the specific implications of each research project based on examples of the incorporation of the gender perspective in different disciplines and areas of research. The main aspects covered are: Introduction to feminist, queer, intersectional and decolonial epistemologies and methodologies to incorporate the gender perspective in all phases of a project; Presentation of indicators and indications on equality and non-discrimination in scientific knowledge; Review of sources, communication and language for inclusive and non-sexist or LGBTIQ+phobic use; Analysis and reflections on scientific communities.
