Publicacions de l’UJI, the university press of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI), belonging to the Communication and Publications Service, has updated its bibliographic citation rules in order to make women writers more visible. This editorial initiative, the first in the Spanish context, has been adopted as part of the commemoration of International Women's Day.

From now on, the bibliographies in UJI publications will incorporate the full name of their creators and not just the initial of the first name. The decision was taken in collaboration with the Equality Unit, in order to advance the objectives of the Second Equality Plan (2016-2020) and with the technical advice of the Library.

The UJI editorial director, Carme Pinyana, argues that the pioneering modification of criteria for the presentation of originals “implies the adoption of the guidelines for the preparation of bibliographies collected by the style manual of the Chicago author-date format, after having made a study of the options used internationally, thanks to the collaboration of the Library.” The aim of this change, according to Pinyana, “responds to the commitment to make the proper name of the authors more evident and, at the same time, to contribute to the implementation of the Second Equality Plan, which advocates promoting the visibility of women’s production, books in this particular case.”

The head of the Communication and Publications Service, Francisco Fernández Beltrán, stresses that communication “is never neutral and, in this case, we wanted to take a conscious commitment to improve the visibility of women who spread their knowledge through books. We have many female authors and we want to make their names known, so that society can value their relevance," he adds.

The modification of the bibliographic citation rules is “very important and necessary” for the director of the UJI Equality Unit, Mercedes Alcañiz, who recalls that this is a “first step to make visible the work of women as scientists and authors of publications”. This action reinforces the compliance with the Second UJI Equality Plan, specifically of axis 4, which focuses on research, publications and knowledge transfer. In addition, “we have introduced the subject *Research and Gender Perspective* in doctorate courses, and every two years we organize the Congress on Research and Gender where we deliver prizes to the best doctoral thesis, master’s degree thesis and final projects,” recalls Alcañiz.

“The Chicago author-date format is a standard that has been used for many years around the world in academic and scientific settings, and it can be applied in any discipline: sciences, humanities, economics, law, etc.”, explains Paloma Garrido, head of section at the UJI Library. At the same time, “it is useful for referencing any source of information, such as a book, an article or a page, but also a conversation or an email,” she adds.

Another advantage of using the Chicago author-date format from the Chicago style manual for the preparation of bibliographies is, according to Paloma Garrido, that it is present in databases and bibliographic managers available to the research community, such as Mendeley, whose use is widespread at the Universitat Jaume I.
