4. Pseudo-science is a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method.
5. Pseudoscience is differentiated from science because - although it usually claims to be science- pseudoscience does not adhere to scientific standards , such as the scientific method, falsifiability of claims, and Mertonian norms.

12. a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
