Referencing Integrity

Issue: AI tools often produce fake or incorrect citations.
Rules:
- Treat AI references as unverified leads only.
- Verify via CrossRef, DOI checks, or official journal sites.
- Use tools like Perplexity for better accuracy but still confirm sources.
- Never cite AI as an author; disclose its role per policy.

Review these rules, and add any comments, criticisms or suggestions in the response area.
