Despite the current surge in metascience projects, the field lacks disciplinarity and institutionalization, such as dedicated journals, departments, PhD programs. This poses limitations on its development. I argue that this inherent limitation is a necessary consequence of the too narrow methodological and conceptual common ground among metascientists from different disciplines. A more practical development of metascience is envisaged as a network of dedicated metascientific sub-disciplines of established disciplines. As a subdiscipline of psychology, psychology of science would fit within the existing divisions of its discipline, as do philosophy and sociology of science. In this new perspective, psychology of science aims to cover any approach that applies the empirical methods or conceptual frameworks of psychology to understand or support the way science is done. In this talk, I will highlight the psychological perspective in recent metascience projects and discuss the directions this subdiscipline aims to take. *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/e/cwfyKzVyJM> to get access to the lecture hall.
