Coercive citation

Hi there little one! So, when people write things like books or articles, they have to include something called "citations". These citations are like little notes that tell you where the author got their information from.

Now, sometimes when people write things, they might try to make their argument stronger by only using certain citations that support their point of view. This is kind of like picking and choosing only the toys you want to play with, even if your friends have other toys that might be really fun to play with too.

When someone does this, it's called "coercive citation". It's like trying to force people to agree with you by only showing them a few select pieces of information instead of giving them the whole picture. This is not very fair or honest.

It's important to use a variety of sources and citations when writing so that everyone can see the big picture and make their own informed opinions.
