Why it matters
The benchmark isolates citation presence from content to measure susceptibility to citation-induced hallucination, providing a standardized protocol for assessing reliability in citation-augmented settings.
Motivation
Large language models are increasingly deployed in citation-augmented settings, yet the effect of citation presence on model behavior independent of factual content remains poorly understood.
