Your Definition
A field that examines how evidence, science, and logic are socially constructed and maintained. It studies the communities that produce scientific knowledge, the institutions that validate evidence, and the social networks that enforce logical norms. It shows that what counts as “good science” is often what powerful scientists say is good science, and that logic is practiced by communities with their own hierarchies and gatekeepers.
