The concept of justification is central to the reliabilist account, which defines it as a function of the reliability of belief-forming processes [1]. Reliabilists specifically argue that a belief is justified if it originates from a reliable cognitive source [2], a position that leads them to reject access internalism regarding the nature of justification [3].
