At Cosmic Variance there is a funny alternative-science checklist - that is, checking if you’re alternative science is a good alternative or just crackpot ideas.

The main points are (and these are intended seriously, funny are the comments):

1. Acquire basic competency in whatever field of science your discovery belongs to.

2. Understand, and make a good-faith effort to confront, the fundamental objections to your claims within established science.

3. Present your discovery in a way that is complete, transparent, and unambiguous.
