Abstract

Abstract: This article’s objective is to suggest that epistemic injustice is an important barrier to establishing an open science culture in Thailand. Open science is a movement that aims to remove the barriers between scientists (or scientific researchers) and laypeople, and epistemic injustice refers to unfairness due to aspects of knowledge. In Thailand, many barriers to establishing open science have been identified, including the education system, Thai culture, Thai national policies, and laypeople’s cognitive limitations. However, many barriers conceptually can be called epistemic injustice; therefore, reducing epistemic injustice is an effective way to establish an open science culture in Thailand.
