Citation
Definition
A valid web source URL associated with an AI answer.
How it is calculated
Citation URLs are normalized and unsafe or non-web schemes are rejected. A tracked entity is cited when the source hostname matches one of its domains.
Where to see it
This term describes part of how refd collects and scores AI answers. The methodology page sets out the full contract, and the demo shows the same concepts against a live sample workspace.
The definition above is the one the product uses. It is read directly from the same source the dashboard and the MCP server read, so this page cannot drift from the software.
