	# Citation Recommender

	## Problem Statement
	Finding credible sources for citations can be a time-consuming task for editors, researchers, and content creators. This process often involves manually searching for relevant sources that support the content's claims, which can be tedious and inefficient.

	## Main Functionality
	The Credible Source Finder tool uses Flask, pandas, and TextBlob to suggest credible sources for content, aiming to save time and improve content quality. It does this by analyzing user queries and articles, fetching search results using the Bing API, and performing sentiment analysis to rank sources based on relevance and credibility.

	Key Steps:
	- User Input: Takes user input from a form.
	- Data Processing: Processes input by tokenizing, removing stopwords, and stemming words.
	- API Integration: Uses the Bing API to fetch search results based on the processed query.
	- Sentiment Analysis: Analyzes the sentiment of the input query and search result snippets.
	- Result Presentation: Ranks search results based on sentiment and displays them to the user.
