Information presented as fact should be supported by cited sources. For example, if there is a claim that says "studies show" a particular fact, that study should be cited so you can review and verify that it exists and is credible.

Relevance is important because you are expected to support your ideas with related, pertinent information. For example, a source detailing Einstein's marriage would not be very relevant to a paper about his scientific theories.
