Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial › peer-review

Abstract

It would appear that a heresy has developed in nurse education that only very recent references should be used in writing – indeed the more recent, the better. Quite where this thinking has come from is unclear; however this apparent obsession with up-to-date references is, arguably naive, limiting and just, plain wrong. Clearly, from a research point of view....
