Defining and Growing the Field of Metascience by Prof Fiona Fidler, School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, University of Melbourne, Australia

Title of talk:
Defining and Growing the Field of Metascience
 
Presenter:
Prof Fiona Fidler, School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, University of Melbourne, Australia

Event:
This talk is part of the Metascience Forum 2020, 24 September 2020

Focus of talk:
In this talk, Professor Fidler argues how the field of metascience contrasts with many scientific disciplines because it works in service to science with a goal to improve the process by which science is conducted. The importance of creating a defined community is that is allows for norms to develop and for proper credit to be given for this work, without which it will be marginalized or demeaned.
