Currency
You need to write a paper about treatment for diabetes. Which of the two books would you choose, based on the Currency criteria?
- When was the information published or posted?
- Has the information been revised or updated?
- Is the information current or out-of date for your topic?
Probably not. For many topics in clinical medicine, the more recent the publication
date, the better. In this case, treatments have probably changed since
1959, so you would want to choose the most recent. If you're writing
about the history of diabetes treatment, however, you may want to use
both.
Yes. For many topics in clinical medicine, the more recent the publication
date, the better. In this case, treatments have probably changed since
1959, so you would want to choose the most recent. If you're writing
