|Topic Type=Definitional|Description=Sarwar and Fraser [[CiteRef::Sarwar and Fraser (2018)]] argue that a unique and independent epistemic stance can be taken by epistemic agenst towards theories, ''scientificity''. The history of science shows that that epistemic agents view some theories as scientific and some as unscientific; general relativity is currently considered scientific by the contemporary scientific community,[[CiteRef::Hartle (2006)]] while the theory of phlogiston is considered unscientific.[[CiteRef::Wisniak (2004)]] It is generally understood that there exist pseudoscientific theories, which are a subclass of unscientific theories.[[CiteRef::Hansson (2017)]] HoweverIt is important, therefore, it is unclear as to what scientificity is. A have a definition of the term is neededscientificity.
