| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We devised ten conditions to rate the scientific authenticity. The conditions has been applied to judging a controversial item as science or pseudo-science. We developed a science communication site (http://www.sciencecomlabo.jp/), in which the conditions function appropriately. The site opening to the public for a year has more than 150,000 visitors, 500,000 pages-view, and 500 comments. The availability of site is high enough to be awarded a practice prize from Japanese Society for Science and Technology Studies.
