pseudo-scholarship

pseudo-scholarship
a) Any body of publications purported to be scholarly or supported by critical scholarship but which fails to comply with scholarly standards

[...] if we had possessed much more of the patristic history and literature, our pseudo-scholarship, the natural worship of antiquity, and the spirit of prelatic superstition, would only have used them as so many stronger entrenchments [...] (Mr. Coopers "Free Church of Ancient Christendom", The Monthly Christian spectator, September 1852, p. 518[

b) An arrangement that in effect grants a scholarship to a student, without being considered on a par with a real or standard scholarship

[...] it still remains difficult for university presidents and boards of control to distinguish between pseudoscholarship and real scholarship in the selection of professors (American Medical Association bulletin, 1910, p. 308)
