Doug BostromA reason for integrating grey literature not mentioned here is that dry language is not always the best language. Facts can be conveyed with ice or with heat. Often a little warmth is helpful for information to melt its way into our consciousness.
Which is just one reason why we include a selection of grey literature in our weekly @SkepticalScience climate literature review. Other reasons are as described in this article.

Walled CultureHow copyright makes the climate crisis worse
Many of the posts here on the Walled Culture blog examine fairly niche problems that copyright is causing. Although they are undoubtedly important, in the overall scheme of things they can hardly be called major. But sometimes copyright can have important repercussions in the wider world, as an interesting post on The Conversation makes clear.
It reports on a […]

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: We've Got Google! So Why Can't We Find The Research That We Need? . After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
In this webinar, Coherent Digital’s Toby Green will speak with Dr. Amanda Lawrence to learn more about her work with a part of the scholarly communication spectrum that’s rarely discussed—research organisations beyond academia, and the needs of policymakers and practitioners. At a time when the number of journals and journal articles continues to grow like Topsy, why is it that research organisations are turning their backs on formal publication channels, instead posting new reports on their websites as grey literature? What does this mean for discovery, collection development, and the scholarly record? What does Amanda’s research tell us about the needs of researchers and practitioners outside academia, especially policy makers? Research organisations beyond academia comprise a diverse, dynamic, and surprisingly large community that’s ignored by mainstream scholarly communication actors. Join us as Amanda shines a light into this shadowy part of the scholarly communication landscape.
Timothy ElfenbeinGreat piece by Toby Green on the relative strengths & weaknesses of scholarly publishers vs. self-publishing organizations (especially those producing policy reports, white papers, etc.), nicely summed up in a radar chart. I’ve often used the same “publishing in now a button” quote from Clay Shirky (& irony of the interview venue’s fate) to set the stage for inquiries into what it is that publishers actually do.
