# What is Source Citation?

A note that shows where a claim came from, like a link, a book page or a report name, so you can open it and check. A link alone is not proof; make sure the page really says that.

## In real work

The AI's answer about glass recycling came with a source citation linking to the city's page, so Grace clicked through and confirmed the rule.

## How is this different from Googling it?

Google gives a definition. Prompthaus pairs each term with how it shows up in standups, PRs, prompts, and design reviews. Then it quizzes you until the word sticks. One term a day on iPhone.
