Citation quality
A focused reading path through The Evidence Journal. A working reference is only the start. These guides distinguish bibliographic identity from actual support, connect generated answers to source passages, and preserve context when using published fact checks.
How to use this collection
Begin with the citation-checker layers when reviewing a bibliography. Use the evidence-grounded generation guide when designing an LLM workflow, and the online fact-checking article when reusing a publisher’s review. The common standard is a clear relationship between the exact statement and the material said to support it.
Start with the Citation checker guide, then follow the fieldnotes below. All examples are illustrative and each article points to its own editorial source.
