Grey Literature
• “…literature that is not formally published in
sources such as books or journal articles.”
http://handbook.cochrane.org/chapter_6/6_2_1_8_grey_literature_databases.htm
• "That which is produced on all levels of
government, academics, business and industry
in print and electronic formats, but which is
not controlled by commercial publishers.“
The Fourth International Conference on Grey Literature (GL '99) in Washington, DC, in October 1999
Clinicaltrials.gov
Hand Searching
• “Handsearching involves a manual page-by-page
examination of the entire contents of a journal issue or
conference proceedings to identify all eligible reports
of trials.”
• Authors are not routinely expected to hand search
journals for their reviews but they should discuss with
their Trials Search Coordinator whether in their
particular case hand searching of any journals or
conference proceedings might be beneficial.

    Hand Searching • “Handsearchinginvolves a manual page-by-page examination of the entire contents of a journal issue or conference proceedings to identify all eligible reports of trials.” • Authors are not routinely expected to hand search journals for their reviews but they should discuss with their Trials Search Coordinator whether in their particular case hand searching of any journals or conference proceedings might be beneficial. http://handbook.cochrane.org/chapter_6/6_2_2_1_hand searching.htm
