- Grey (or gray) literature is material published outside of peer-reviewed journals and other traditional channels such as edited monographs (books).
- Often this means reports from government or non-governmental organisations or articles from trade journals and business magazines. It can also take the format of working papers, websites, conference presentations, social media and so on.
- Most grey literature is not peer reviewed, so you need to use your judgement and assess it to decide whether it is a high quality resource. See the TRAAP test at the bottom of the page to help critically evaluate the appropriateness of the grey literature you find.
Example: The Havard Business Review
It is important to critically evaluate grey literature as it is not peer reviewed or overseen by an established publisher. Use the TRAAP test to determine whether or not to use resources in you research: T = Timely R = Relevant A = Authoritative A = Accurate P = Purpose |
