Proposal - new chapter 16 on Grey Literature

Open tosteiner opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Grey lit might be understood as the backbone of Open Access, with the term referring

to “any documen-tary material that is not commercially published and is typically composed of technical reports, working papers, business documents, and conference proceed-ings”1 or the “quasi-printed reports, unpublished but circulated papers, unpub-lished proceedings of conferences, printed programs from conferences, and the other non-unique material which seems to constitute the bulk of our modern [..] manuscript collections.”2 In the educational context it could also include recorded lectures and other course content, student papers, thesis’ repositories, etc. The dominant theme of these conceptualizations is the unpublished nature of the literature [...]

(Lipinski, in Farace, Schöpfel 2010. p.85f. https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01981296/document )

How about we dedicate a chapter to this, then including #22

Hmmm. Do you think it is that important? I can just mention Repec and some other repos in the existing structure.

yeah, sure - won't be able to whip out a whole chapter in time for release, maybe somewhen in the longer run?

Yep, totes. Let's keep it in mind as something for the future.
