Citation validation involves fetching source content to locate exact inline quotes and confirm alignment with original claims. It checks URL accessibility, quote matching, publish date sanity, and domain reputation to return structured verdicts with evidence.

Fact-checking sources for long reports is done by applying per-citation verification to fetch content, match quotes, and flag conflicts. This scalable approach surfaces unreliable sources by checking domain reputation and publish date sanity across all citations.

Yes, you can check domain reputation and publish date sanity to surface unreliable sources. The verification workflow evaluates these factors alongside URL accessibility and inline quote matching to flag suspicious or unverified citations with supporting evidence.

To start citation verification, list your citation URLs and any inline quotes to verify. Running the workflow fetches the sources, checks the quotes, and produces a structured per-citation report with verdicts and evidence.

Citation verification is designed for researchers and journalists needing fast, scalable validation across long reports. It retrieves real sources, checks quote alignment, and flags conflicts to ensure overall report integrity.

Web-fetch based citation verification is limited by URL accessibility; if a source is paywalled or offline, the fetch will fail. It relies on retrieving real content to match inline quotes, meaning unresolvable URLs will be flagged as unverified rather than checked.
