Abstract

In this paper, I present the evaluation process of the article “Scientific biography as possibility to value a more feminine and black Chemical Science” through an analysis of its axiological, methodological, factual, and historiographical domains. In axiological terms, I present the evidence and the train of thought that led me to understand that the paper, despite being intended as an exploratory research, demonstrated a previous hypothesis, that the biography of a black female scientist could promote discussions about race and gender in teacher training. In the methodological domain, I explore the inconsistencies that this previous hypothesis had for the development of the methodology. In the factual domain, I discuss the importance of presenting data classified by gender, race, and geographic location. When it comes to history and historiography, I present the discussions with the authors regarding the construction of teaching material that was not presented to me in the first version. I close the work by indicating that the final version has become more coherent and its hypothesis has been attenuated. The work presents above average quality and methodological rigor, in my opinion, and the process was extremely interesting, generating pertinent questions to our area of research as a whole.
