An area of study within metascience that examines science through the lens of ideology—how scientific knowledge production is shaped by, and in turn shapes, ideological commitments, worldviews, and value systems. Ideoscience asks how ideology operates within science: how political beliefs influence research agendas, how cultural values shape interpretation, how scientific findings are mobilized for ideological purposes. It also examines science itself as an ideological agent—how scientific authority is used to legitimize certain worldviews, how "scientific" becomes a label that confers power, how science functions as a belief system for modern secular societies. Ideoscience reveals that science is never ideology-free; the question is not whether ideology is present, but how it operates and whose interests it serves.
