Not enough data. If the world that they are about has features that do not match those of known physics but matches physics and science after a given set of assumptions you have to buy into at the beginning then it might be science fiction or with no assumptions just fiction with another subcategory. (nothing is really just fiction IMHO). Now if it is a world like Narnia, or middle earth then it is fantasy.
Does that help? Maybe we need a wiki on genres.
