# How much do you trust Perplexity’s citations?

I’ve been trying Perplexity for quick research because it shows sources alongside its answers. That makes it easier to check claims, but I’ve also seen cases where a cited page only partly supports the sentence it’s attached to.

When you use Perplexity, do you open every source or treat the citations as a starting point? I’m curious whether people have a reliable way to check that a source actually backs up the specific claim, especially for health, legal, or technical topics.
