Research Abstract |
This research focused on the pseudo-science advertisements and produced a standard system to evaluate their scientific levels. Based on the literature research, seven standard items were found: transparency, reproductivity and objectivity for the data aspect; logicality, systematicy and universality for the theory aspect; predictivity for the data-theory aspect. A user joining web site was developed to make the standard system more practical.
