Logology (science)

Not to be confused with Metascience or Science studies.
For other uses, see Logology (disambiguation).

Logology is the study of all things related to science and its practitioners—philosophical, biological, psychological, societal, historical, political, institutional, financial. The term "logology" is back-formed from the suffix "-logy", as in "geology", "anthropology", etc., in the sense of the "study of science".[1][2] The word "logology" provides grammatical variants not available with the earlier terms "science of science" and "sociology of science", such as "logologist", "logologize", "logological", and "logologically".[a] The emerging field of metascience is a subfield of logology.
