This paper analyzes the changes in the structure and function of the magazine. Highlights two facts.

Revista ROL de Enfermería fue la primera revista de profesionales de la enfermería dirigida a la enfermería, publicada con el nacimiento de la democracia española e indexada muy pronto en MEDLINE/PubMed. Esta comunicación analiza los cambios producidos en la estructura y función de la revista. Destacan dos hechos: que ROL expresa la transformación de la nueva enfermería universitaria y que la revista se fue adaptando progresivamente a las normas establecidas por la ciencia: aunque no incrementó la proporción de artículos originales, normalizó su estructura, el patrón bibliográfico o de citas, así como el estilo de escritura científica (AU)

The design and analysis of research may cause systematic gender dependent errors to be produced in results because of gender insensitivity or androcentrism. Gender bias in research could be defined as a systematically erroneous gender dependent approach related to social construct, which incorrectly regards women and men as similar/different. Most gender bias can be found in the context of discovery (development of hypotheses), but it has also been found in the context of justification (methodological process), which must be improved. In fact, one of the main effects of gender bias in research is partial or incorrect knowledge in the results, which are systematically different from the real values. This paper discusses some forms of conceptual and methodological bias that may affect women's health. It proposes a framework to analyse gender bias in the design and analysis of research carried out on women's and men's health problems, and on specific women's health issues. Using examples, the framework aims to show the different theoretical perspectives in a social or clinical research context where forms of selection, measurement and confounding bias are produced as a result of gender insensitivity. Finally, this paper underlines the importance of re-examining results so that they may be reinterpreted to produce new gender based knowledge.
