here, a quote from "The Science of Science Communication III: Inspiring Novel Collaborations and Building Capacity: Proceedings of a Colloquium (2018)" [ISBN 978-0-309-46858-9; DOI 10.17226/24958; is free to download]:

"he cited five hallmarks of pseudoscience [as] identified by writer Mark Huffnagle. First, people pushing pseudoscience allege a conspiracy to suppress dissenting views. Second, they provide fake experts with contrary views but no credible scientific track record. Third, they cherry-pick data and papers to discredit a field. Fourth, they deploy false analogies and logical fallacies. Fifth, they set expectations for research that are impossible to meet";
