Special relativity is a limiting case of general relativity (where spacetime curvature vanishes), making formal citations unnecessary.

The analysis

The claim is a foundational and uncontroversial fact of theoretical physics: special relativity is recovered from general relativity in the limit where the metric tensor is flat (gravitational fields and curvature vanish). This is standard textbook material and does not require empirical research papers to verify.
