Grey Literature, what is it?
Grey Literature is research and other information which is produced by government, academics, business and industry in both print and electronic formats, but which is not controlled by commercial publishing. This can include government documents, theses and dissertations, conference papers and proceedings, research reports, data compilations, clinical trials, etc. Grey literature can be particularly helpful in situations where not much has been published on a topic yet, but it is important to note that this information has not been vetted through the peer review process.
