"Grey" Literature means ..............

  • A.Documents bound in grey cloth
  • B.Literature which contains classified information
  • C.Literature which is to be published in future
  • D.Literature which is Semipublished

Answer: D

Grey literature is literature which is semipublished.

Grey literature means material that is produced and circulated but not through commercial publishing and bookselling channels: technical and research reports, theses and dissertations, conference papers, working papers, government documents and trade literature. It is hard to identify and acquire because it lacks normal bibliographic control, which is why it is called semi-published.

The name has nothing to do with the colour of the binding. Classified material is restricted, not semi-published, and literature yet to be published is forthcoming literature, not grey literature.
