Gray literature is written by scholars or practitioners with expertise in the field of public policy, but not published in traditional academic journals.
Examples include white papers, reports, and proposals from think tanks and other public policy organizations. Gray literature can be very useful in finding policy alternatives or getting background information on a policy topic.
