In recent years, the notion of a shadow economy has become common and, obviously, comprehensible to all. The author is of the opinion that so-called “shadow relations” have penetrated into science as well, and that this process is long-standing. What phenomena may be attributed to shadow science? Is it possible to systematize them? Will they be overcome? The interested reader will get answers from this article.
