A stormwater OSINT finding is footnoted only as Google. What citation should the analyst require?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Saying the source is Google is like saying you learned it from a library without naming the book. The search box is how you walked in; the page you opened is what you read. Write the URL, the query, and when you looked.
Full Explanation
Search engines are discovery tools, not citable evidence. A professional citation names the retrieved page, records the query that found it when that matters for reproducibility, and stamps the retrieval time. Brand-only footnotes, 'the internet,' and search-box screenshots cannot be re-performed. If the live page later changes, the URL-plus-date pair still describes what was used.
