Grey (or gray) Literature (GL) is, according to AFNOR (Association française de normalisation), any typed or printed document, meant to reach a limited audience, outside of the commercial publishing channels and outside of the conventional bibliographic control utilities. It is difficult to estimate how much Grey Literature is produced since legal deposit laws will apply only the volume of conventional literature published commercially. Examples of Grey Literature include: study or research reports, scientific and technical reports, government documents, theses, patent documents etc. Why is there an interest in Grey Literature? Some studies indicate that ignoring literature that is valuable but not commercially available may introduce a methodological bias in conducting research.

V praktické části byly proměřeny charakteristiky testovacích struktur vyčítacího čipu. Práce zahrnuje základní informace o interakcích částic, křemíkových detektorech a jejich vlastnostech a o principech radiačního poškození polovodičů. This thesis focuses on the radiation damage of semiconductor detectors, which consist of a sensor and a readout chip. In the practical part of this thesis, the characteristics of the readout chip test structures have been measured. Keywords: radiační odolnost; polovodičové detektory; vyčítací čip Available at various departments of the ČVUT. Search Engines:Grey Literature.

Research publications that are distributed online, free of cost or other access barriers Open access (OA) is a set of principles and a range of practices through which research outputs are distributed online, free of cost or other access barriers.[1] With open access strictly defined (according to the 2001 definition), or libre open access, barriers to copying or reuse are also reduced or removed by applying an open license for copyright.[1] The main focus of the open access movement is "peer reviewed research literature.
"[2] Historically, this has centered mainly on print-based academic journals. Whereas conventional (non-open access) journals cover publishing costs through access tolls such as subscriptions, site licenses or pay-per-view charges, open-access journals are characterised by funding models which do not require the reader to pay to read the journal's contents.
