At the level where you cite the work of others.
- OrganicMSG 9y agoI'm reminded of the Russian proverb; "Trust, but verify". A citation does generally mean that you hold a given paper with a certain level of trust, but that isn't the same as having trusted the people who wrote it to have done their job properly. The trust in the paper could be because you trust the folk who wrote it to have gone and done their job properly, however the trust could also be from having actively gone and checked the working.
