What is the word historians use to describe the study of the discipline of history?

I think they use the term Historiography for this.

Historiography is the study methodology in which historians developed history as one academic discipline
Basically, the scholars of historiography use various techniques and sources to determine the true event of the history

hope this helps

Is there a passage that comes with this question or should i know this right off the bat, because if it is, i probably have short term memory loss or college is too stressful
