Dope more expensive, society found in studies (4,2)

'studies' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'dope more expensive society found in' is the wordplay.
'dope' becomes 'gen' (both can mean information).
'more expensive' becomes 'up' (I've seen this in other clues).
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gen'+'up'='genup'
'genup' going around 's' is 'GENS UP'.

Can you help me to learn more?
