An area of study within metascience that examines science through the lens of epistemology and metaepistemology—how scientific knowledge is structured, justified, and validated, and how science functions as an epistemological agent. Epistoscience asks what kind of knowledge science produces, how scientific claims are warranted, what standards of evidence operate within different fields, and how scientific knowledge relates to other ways of knowing. It also examines science as an epistemological authority—how science legitimizes certain claims as knowledge, how scientific methods become standards for knowing, how science shapes what counts as truth in modern societies. Epistoscience reveals that science is not just a knowledge-producing machine but an epistemological system with its own assumptions, standards, and limitations.
Example: "His epistoscience work examined how clinical trial evidence is constructed—not just collected, but actively built through choices about endpoints, populations, and statistical methods that shape what counts as 'proof.'"
