Document Types in Grey Literature

Two-thirds of the respondents to the GL Survey 2004 hold that ‘Grey Literature is best described by the type of document it embodies’. In order to better enable the net-user to identify grey literature, the following list of document types has been drafted. If you would like to add a document type to this list, or if you find that a document type should be de-listed, contact info@greynet.org


Note:
Links to Wikipedia are being added to document types listed on this webpage. 
The next step is to introduce the category grey literature to exisitng entries in Wikipedia. 
See example on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Book_terminology.
If you are interested, please contact info@greynet.org
