Title: Psychology of Science
Metascience is a broad term encompassing all scientific efforts to understand and improve science itself. 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.

Best,
Reka
