Resumen

FARRERA, Arodi. Scientific transparency: towards a relational paradigm in forensic anthropology. Rev. urug. Antropología y Etnografía [online]. 2024, vol.9, n.2, e104.  Epub 01-Dic-2024. ISSN 2393-7068.  https://doi.org/10.29112/ruae.v9i2.2308.

One of the main challenges of forensic anthropology in the context of the current humanitarian crisis in Mexico is to provide solutions that help increase the number of human identifications. For these solutions to be effective, proposals must incentivize collaboration among diverse actors and benefit both the end users of the produced knowledge and the affected individuals. In this context, it is essential to address any existing communication problems among these actors. In this contribution, I reflect on the role of scientific transparency as a possible intervention to improve the flow of information within forensic anthropology. I consider how this, in turn, could facilitate the development of distributed knowledge production systems whose dialogue eventually allows for the involvement of different instances or groups interested in human identification. Additionally, I address the ethical dilemmas that may arise from using transparency as the basis for information exchange in the discipline. Finally, I propose a reflection on the short and long-term strategies to address these dilemmas and ensure the ethical and sustained implementation of this practice in the academic context.

Palabras clave : scientific transparency; distributed knowledge; forensic crisis; Mexico.
