National Conference Series - Where is the Evidence? Policy, research, and the rise of grey literature

Recent advances in information and communication technologies are disrupting traditional publishing models, radically changing our capacity to reproduce, distribute, control and publish information.

This is particularly so in the case of policy research  which is often produced outside formal commercial publishing channels  as 'grey literature' . Grey literature provides both opportunities and challenges  but there is no doubt that it continues to grow in volume, importance and complexity.

This symposium will explore these opportunities for increased access to knowledge and research communication as well as the challenges presented in producing, disseminating, evaluating, collecting and accessing policy grey literature.
