Abstract

No. 6 (June 2025) in the 'Mastery in Writing' series of articles: https://www.paramedicpractice.com/content/mastery-in-writing.

Georgia Howat and David Hepworth joining you this month on the Mastery in Writing series. We were having a conversation about what constitutes an ‘up-to-date’ source/citation. It's a question students often ask, and the answer varies, context dependent on who, what and why you are referencing. You'll be familiar with 5–10 years as the suggestion for current evidence, which sounds reasonable in terms of currency – but isn't always when it comes to your academic writing. Let's think context.
