Finding grey literature

Grey literature generally refers to unpublished sources such as government documents, reports, conference proceedings, informal communications, guidelines, preprints and more.

This workshop will cover:

  • What grey literature is, why it is important and why you should include it
  • How to find it, where to look and what to search for
  • Writing it up - what you should include in your methods section
  • Keeping track of it all, documenting your searches and evaluating quality
