The term protoscience is used to describe a new area of scientific endeavor in the process of becoming established.
While protoscience is often speculative, it is to be distinguished from pseudoscience by its adherence to the scientific method and standard practices of good science, most notably a willingness to be disproven by new evidence (if and when it appears), or supplanted by a more-predictive theory.

  Protoscience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the philosophy of science, a protoscience is an "area of science" which is in its formulative or speculative stages, and may in the future become established as a science, or be discarded as a falsified claim or unfruitful approach.
Protoscience is a term sometimes used to describe a hypothesis which has not yet been tested adequately by the scientific method, but which is otherwise consistent with existing science or which, where inconsistent, offers reasonable account of the inconsistency.
But while protoscience is often speculative, certain claims may be distinguished from pseudoscience by at least a partial adherence to the scientific method —most notably an acceptance of falsifiability and an expectation of developing toward becoming an operant and predictive theory.
