Racismo algorítmico, ciência aberta e o bibliotecário(a) como protagonista na promoção da justiça epistêmica

Abstract

The article discusses the role of librarians in addressing algorithmic racism within the context of open science. It argues that algorithms reinforce racial inequalities by automating structural biases, while open science, if devoid of critical reflection,may reproduce exclusionary practices. Theyto some extent, can promote epistemic justice through more inclusive practices of mediation and description. Based on a literature review, the article highlights the importance of information policies that are sensitive to diversity. It concludes that a truly democratic open science requires critical engagement with algorithmic infrastructures and greater protagonism from information professionals in building more equitable ecosystems.
