Citations in Articles

Inline superscript citations, the References section, and when the AI cites sources.

Note: You configure sources in the brief (URLs, files, web research toggle) — there is no separate source-picking grid before generation.

When you provide sources, the AI can cite them inline within your article.

Citation format

Citations appear as superscript numbers linked to the source:

According to recent data, 73% of marketers prioritize content quality<sup><a href="https://example.com/report" data-citation="1">[1]</a></sup>.

References section

A References section is automatically added at the end of the article listing all cited sources in order:

<h2>References</h2>
<ol class="references-list">
  <li><a href="https://example.com/report">Marketing Trends Report 2024</a> - example.com</li>
</ol>

The AI only cites when using specific facts, statistics, quotes, or claims from sources. General knowledge statements do not receive citations.
