For research involving or pertaining to humans, animals, model organisms, or eukaryotic cells, The Lancet Group's journals require authors to report on sex-based and gender-based analyses in their submitted papers. The Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines offer systematic approaches to such reporting and interpretation.

In this Lancet Webinar, Editors from across The Lancet Group will:

  • Give an introduction to the importance of sex- and gender-based analyses.

  • Describe the requirements of the SAGER guidelines.

  • Provide examples of well-analysed published research.

  • Discuss practical tips for responding to the guidelines and answer questions from attendees.
