Question

How old can a published source be and still be considered current? What is the best resource for learning APA formatting? Can Wikipedia or Google be used as supporting evidence?

Answer 1

Answer: The old published source be and still be considered current as these publications are authentic, these are being updated as many of the research going on the old information.

There are many online resources present to learn about the APA formatting. Most of the guidelines can be available on the websites and books.

Wikipedia Or Google can not be used as supportive evidence until and unless there are authentic sources of information and refrences are mentioned. As Wikipedia is not considered as reliable source for the supporting evidence. It is important to analyse the sources of refrences mentioned on the supportive information.

The sources that can be mentioned should be updated because those research or the evidence which doesn't updated has poor impact. It means that on that work no further research were done or updated information is available. The journals from the Google search which has authentic information can be mentioned as the source of evidence.
