Metascience is a triannual peer-reviewed academic journal published by Springer Nature. It publishes reviews of books in the history and philosophy of science and science and technology studies.[1][2]

It was established in 1984 by the Australasian Association for the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Science,[2] and re-established in 1991 as a new series of the journal, with the new subtitle An International Review Journal for the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Science, by Michael Shortland.[1] Operations for the journal moved in 2017 from the philosophy department of the State University of New York at Oswego to the Centre for Science Studies at Aarhus University.[3]

As of 2021, the editors-in-chief are K. Brad Wray of Aarhus University and Jonathan Simon of the University of Lorraine.[4] The journal is abstracted and indexed in Scopus.[5]
