  We analyze spectroscopic observations of five young massive clusters (YMCs)
in the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1313 to obtain detailed abundances from their
integrated light. Our sample of YMCs was observed with the X-Shooter
spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope (VLT). We make use of theoretical
isochrones to generate synthetic integrated-light spectra, iterating on the
individual elemental abundances until converging on the best fit to the
observations. We measure abundance ratios for [Ca/Fe], [Ti/Fe], [Mg/Fe],
[Cr/Fe], and [Ni/Fe]. We estimate an Fe abundance gradient of $-$0.124 $\pm$
0.034 dex kpc$^{-1}$, and a slightly shallower $\alpha$ gradient of $-$0.093
$\pm$ 0.009 dex kpc$^{-1}$. This is in contrast to previous metallicity studies
that focused on the gas-phase abundances, which have found NGC 1313 to be the
highest-mass barred galaxy known not to have a radial abundance gradient. We
propose that the gradient discrepancy between the different studies originates
from the metallicity calibrations used to study the gas-phase abundances. We
also observe an age-metallicity trend which supports a scenario of constant
star formation throughout the galaxy, with a possible burst in star formation
in the south-west region where YMC NGC 1313-379 is located.
