Searching and synthesising ‘grey literature’ and ‘grey information’ in public health: critical reflections on three case studies (2016)
Journal Article
Adams, J., Hillier-Brown, F., Moore, H., Lake, A., Araujo-Soares, V., White, M., & Summerbell, C. (2016). Searching and synthesising ‘grey literature’ and ‘grey information’ in public health: critical reflections on three case studies. Systematic Reviews, 5, Article 164. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-016-0337-y

Background Grey literature includes a range of documents not controlled by commercial publishing organisations. This means that grey literature can be difficult to search and retrieve for evidence synthesis. Much knowledge and evidence in public heal...
