Epistemic Injustice in Open Science and Its Remedies Abstract: By opening scientific information and processes, the open science movement aims to increase the openness, transparency, and reproducibility of the scientific research process by making data and publications freely accessible to a wider community and public. These efforts to realize the epistemic values of science equally in the scientific community and non-specialists, have encountered many problems. Few philosophical discussions addressed the problem of changing epistemic communities that exist in the open science movement. Using the concept of epistemic injustice, this paper identifies the epistemic groups’ change and epistemic injustice associated with open science in different scenarios, and then distinguishes how open science exacerbates the existing problems of scientific research, as well as the new problems brought about by open science. Finally, based on the multiple epistemic goals of scientific research, the paper proposes possible ways to remedy the problems by cultivating and taking advantage of the epistemic diversity of different groups.
