EDITORIAL

From this year, the virtual edition of Guidance and Society will be published every six months and the paper edition will continue to be annually published due to economic reasons. We are presenting the 18th Volume of the magazine Guidance and Society that will be published in paper and also in a digital version at Portal Scielo.

Regarding the sexism in Spanish, there aren’t yet any regulations. Nevertheless, there are some options available that tend to neutralize the sexism. In this magazine, we will not use signs such as “@” or “x” to replace the “-a” or “-o” that in Spanish are usually related to the feminine and masculine grammatical gender. Summarizing, given the characteristics of this magazine, we will use some alternative choices that are accepted in the language, without demeaning any possible future changes.
