The concept of like a science is introduced to denote one of the forms of imitation of scientific knowledge, which exists along with pseudoscience as well as and parascience. From the author's point of view, the essence of a kind of science consists in reproducing the external signs of scientific research in order to achieve pragmatic goals that have nothing to do with the search for truth. On one specific example, the author analyzes the typical features inherent in a kind of scientific text. It is proposed to consider this text as a reference. A universal table has been developed that allows one to algorithmize the process of differentiating science and, as it were, like a science. The world-historical significance of the Eidelman concept as a classical embodiment of a kind of science is revealed.
