ABSTRACT
So far, we have identified four major and three derived sexist problems. We have looked at concrete examples as they appear in the literature, sometimes in rather gross form, sometimes in more subtle form. The point of identifying sexism in research is, of course, to eliminate it. This chapter will, to that end, provide a framework for conducting nonsexist research. The guidelines proposed here can be applied to an individual piece of research — either one's own or someone else's. They are relevant both when formulating a research project and when evaluating a finished piece of research. And they are applicable to all of the social sciences.
