Notes

1 The term heteronormativity has long been used to describe ‘the institutions, structures of understanding, and practical orientations that make heterosexuality seem not only coherent – that is, organised as a sexuality – but also privileged’ (Berlant and Warner 1998, 548). Here we have added ‘cis’ to this term to highlight the privilege and normalcy afforded to people who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.

2 Our dataset contains the following information for 268 texts: URL, Title, Abstract, Author(s), Publication Date, Volume, Issue. We excluded some texts from the dataset: book reviews or issues centred on books (e.g. Vol 3, no.1), an interview with Mohamed Sahnoun, which was partly about norms, Kofi Annan’s conclusion to Vol 3, no. 4, and all errata. For articles with no abstract, we coded the first paragraph. We coded articles using their abstracts because these are the main indication of an article’s focus and are what most readers will use to determine whether the text is about norms and should be included in their literature review or not.
