What is Grey literature?
Grey literature is “information produced by all levels of government, academics, business and industry in electronic and print formats not controlled by commercial publishing”. (GreyNet) Grey literature includes policy documents, statistics, blogs, theses and dissertations, reports, videos, clinical practice guidelines and websites - among other things!
