Evidence

Evidence refers to information, documents, or data used to support or refute claims and establish the truth value of statements. In misinformation research, evidence encompasses both the sources used in verification workflows (news articles, scientific papers, expert statements) and the formal methods for retrieving, ranking, and integrating multiple sources to reach conclusions.
