An answer cites a source: does it support this sentence?
- Answer
- Identify the claim to check.
- Citation
- Read the passage in its original document.
- Choose one checkable sentence rather than the whole answer at once.
- Open its citation and find the passage expected to support it.
- Compare date, scope and wording; seek independent evidence when needed.
Fictional example: the answer discusses all students, but its citation studies one institution. Narrow the conclusion or seek a source covering the claimed population.
Your useful record: Answer sentence, cited URL, actual passage and observed mismatch.
A visible citation is a lead for checking, not automatic validation.
