Justification is fundamentally linked to true belief as a necessary component for transforming it into knowledge, as evidenced by [1], [2], and [3]. Various epistemological theories, such as reliabilism in [4], [5], and [6], define justification specifically through its relationship to the reliable production of true beliefs.

claimA belief is considered justified if it is the result of a cognitive process that reliably leads to true beliefs most of the time, allowing for human fallibility.
claimReliabilism maintains that a belief is justified if and only if the cognitive process that produced it is a reliable source of true beliefs.
claimThe justification of a belief depends on the method by which the belief was arrived at, meaning two people can hold the same true belief but differ in whether they are justified in holding it.
claimKnowledge requires not only true belief but also that the belief be formed in the 'right way', which is referred to as justification.

claimSteup (2010) identifies justification as a key component required to transform a true belief into knowledge.
claimRescher (2003) asserts that knowledge is not simply a matter of having a true belief that is somehow justified, but must be appropriately justified.
perspectiveSteup (2010) argues that true belief without proper justification is insufficient for a knowledge claim because a belief can be true due to luck or other circumstances.

perspectiveJonathan Kvanvig argues that true belief is sufficient to maximize truth and avoid error, suggesting that justification should be dropped from the equation of knowledge.

claimThe role of justification in epistemology is to ensure that a true belief is not true merely by accident, which is accomplished when a true belief instantiates the property of proper probabilification.

claimCandidates for the additional feature required to transform true belief into knowledge include justification (the ability to provide a reason), warrant (being well-positioned to know, such as through training or pattern recognition), and accuracy that manifests epistemic virtue (expressing reliable dispositions like good memory).
Virtue Epistemology | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy iep.utm.edu 1 fact
claimLinda Zagzebski's analysis of knowledge defines knowledge as belief arising from acts of intellectual virtue, rather than true belief, because the justification or warrant condition entails the truth condition.
Social Epistemology - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy plato.stanford.edu 1 fact
claimProcess Reliabilism defines justification as the reliable production of true belief, involving either a cognitive process that reliably produces true belief or a cognitive process that takes justified beliefs as inputs and reliably produces true beliefs as outputs.
