    Philosophy of Science Science-Unscience

    Uploaded by

    This document outlines some signs that research may be unscientific rather than scientific. These signs include belief in an authority without evidence, tests that cannot be repeated or the unwillingness to test claims, the selective use of examples without full context, facts that cannot be verified or are vague, and invented or undocumented facts. While avoiding unscientific practices is necessary, it does not alone make research scientific.
