This principle is based on the metricization of academic life through employing universal criteria that support fair play and equal opportunities. However, feminist theories have claimed that the organization of science based on excellence is never neutral or objective. Meritocracy reproduces inequality from social structures, particularly those related to gender stereotypes and barriers in researchers’ career evaluation, as well as research outcomes. In this paper, we propose that excellent knowledge is produced only through gender and science in the making.}, organization = {Proyecto I+D GENERA}, keywords = {Teoría literaria}, keywords = {Nuevos materialismos feministas}, keywords = {Metodología difractiva}, title = {Excellence in science: a critical affirmative response}, doi = {10.1590/198053144233}, author = {Revelles Benavente, Beatriz and González Ramos, Ana M.}, }
