Read Citations Like a Pro
Numbers and quotes deserve opened sources; general context can ride. Check dates: a 2021 source answering a 2026 question is a red flag.
Spot Weak Grounding
One source for a big claim, sources that cite each other in a circle, and official-looking blogs with no data. Ask is there a primary source for this number? when it matters.
Cite It Yourself
For assignments and articles, open the source and cite that, not the AI summary. Perplexity finds; your bibliography should point at origins.
