Standard adjectival use formed by negating the past-participle 'cited'; learners familiar with 'cite' and 'un-' can infer 'not referenced'.
Etymology
Uncited is made of un- 'not' and cite 'to name a source', like when you recite or 'quote' a book. So an idea or fact that is uncited is 'not given a source' and is harder to check.
