# Document Citations

Citations are the references to laws, regulations and other documents found in a Federal Register document. Numantic Legal Intelligence extracts them from the document text, so each record links a source document to one cited document. See [Understanding Legal Citations](/background/legal-citations) for what each citation type means.
