Citations

Citations connect insights in your report to the original responses that support them.

Why Citations Matter

  • Verify that insights accurately represent what participants said

  • Understand the full context around quotes

  • Build credibility by showing stakeholders the evidence

Using Citations

When you see a quote or finding in your report:

  1. Click the citation link

  2. See the full response

  3. View the complete question and answer

  4. Play media if it's a video/audio response

Evaluating Citations

Ask yourself:

  • Is the quote fairly represented in context?

  • Does the full response change the meaning?

  • Is this a representative example or an outlier?

Best Practices

💡 Tip: Always check key quotes. Before using a quote in a presentation, verify it in context.

💡 Tip: Look for counterexamples. Citations show supporting evidence—also look for contradicting views.

💡 Tip: Consider the sample. One quote isn't proof. Check how many respondents expressed similar views.


Highlights

Highlights are the most significant quotes and moments from your research.

Types of Highlights

Quotable insights - Powerful statements that capture key findings:

"I would pay double if it actually worked reliably."

Emotional moments - Responses revealing strong feelings:

"I felt really let down. I trusted them and they just didn't deliver."

Unexpected findings - Surprising perspectives:

"I actually prefer less features. Everything is so complicated now."

Representative views - Common sentiments expressed well:

"It's fine, nothing special. I use it because everyone else does."

Finding Highlights

Look for:

  • Highlighted quote sections in reports

  • "Key Quotes" or "Highlights" section

  • Video/audio clips marked as notable

Or ask in Report Chat:

  • "What are the most powerful quotes about [topic]?"

  • "Show me memorable responses about customer service"
