Science of science is metascience aka meta-research. Applying scientific method to science.

Epistemology is philosophy of knowledge, justification, and the rationality of belief. Epistemologists don't use methods that would make it science.

Is the scientific method really being applied here though? Certainly doesn't look like it.
