Open access Research publications that are distributed online, free of access charges or other barriers Open access (OA) is a set of principles and a range of practices through which research outputs are distributed online, free of access charges or other 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. Since the revenue of some open access journals are earned from publication fees charged from the authors, there are concerns about the quality of articles published in OA journals.[6][7] Definitions[edit] There are different models of open access publishing and publishers may use one or more of these models. Colour naming system[edit] Different open access types are currently commonly described using a colour system. Gold OA[edit] Green OA[edit] Hybrid OA[edit] FAIR[edit]

System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe The “System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe” (SIGLE) was established in 1980, two years after a seminar on grey literature organised by the European Commission in York (UK). Operated by a network of national information or document supply centres active in collecting and promoting grey literature, SIGLE was an on line, pan-European electronic bibliographic database and document delivery system. The objective was to provide access to European grey literature and to improve bibliographic coverage. From 1980 to 1985, SIGLE was funded by the Commission of the European Communities (CEC). When CEC financial support ended in 1985, the national centres formed a network for the acquisition, identification and dissemination of grey literature called “European Association for Grey Literature Exploitation” or EAGLE, who became the producer of the SIGLE database. Input to the database ended in 2005 when the EAGLE General Assembly decided the liquidation of the network. Record samples[edit]

In search of the deep Web When Yahoo announced its Content Acquisition Program on March 2, press coverage zeroed in on its controversial paid inclusion program, whereby customers can pony up in exchange for enhanced search coverage and a vaunted “trusted feed” status. But lost amid the inevitable search-wars storyline was another, more intriguing development: the unlocking of the deep Web. Those of us who place our faith in the Googlebot may be surprised to learn that the big search engines crawl less than 1 percent of the known Web. Beneath the surface layer of company sites, blogs and porn lies another, hidden Web. The “deep Web” is the great lode of databases, flight schedules, library catalogs, classified ads, patent filings, genetic research data and another 90-odd terabytes of data that never find their way onto a typical search results page. Today, the deep Web remains invisible except when we engage in a focused transaction: searching a catalog, booking a flight, looking for a job. “The U.S.

What is Grey Literature? | Grey Literature Database The Fourth International Conference on Grey Literature (GL '99) in Washington, DC, in October 1999 defined grey literature as follows: "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." In general, grey literature publications are non-conventional, fugitive, and sometimes ephemeral publications. They may include, but are not limited to the following types of materials: reports (pre-prints, preliminary progress and advanced reports, technical reports, statistical reports, memoranda, state-of-the art reports, market research reports, etc.), theses, conference proceedings, technical specifications and standards, non-commercial translations, bibliographies, technical and commercial documentation, and official documents not published commercially (primarily government reports and documents) (Alberani, 1990).

Grey literature Grey literature is informally published written material (such as reports) that may be difficult to trace via conventional channels such as published journals and monographs because it is not published commercially or is not widely accessible. It may nonetheless be an important source of information for researchers, because it tends to be original and recent.[1] Examples of grey literature include patents, technical reports from government agencies or scientific research groups, working papers from research groups or committees, white papers, and preprints. The term "grey literature" is used in library and information science. The identification and acquisition of grey literature poses difficulties for librarians and other information professionals for several reasons. Definitions[edit] The concept of grey literature has emerged since the 1970s. The U.S. In 2010 D.J. Towards a new definition[edit] The proposal was to add four attributes to the New York definition: Impact[edit]

OpenDOAR - Home Page - Directory of Open Access Repositories White paper A white paper is an authoritative report or guide helping readers understand an issue, solve a problem, or make a decision.[1] White papers are used in two main spheres: government and business-to-business marketing. They may be considered as grey literature. In government[edit] The term "white paper" originated in government, and many point to the Churchill White Paper of 1922 as the earliest well-known example under this name. In Canada, a white paper "is considered to be a policy document, approved by Cabinet, tabled in the House of Commons and made available to the general public".[4] The "provision of policy information through the use of white and green papers can help to create an awareness of policy issues among parliamentarians and the public and to encourage an exchange of information and analysis. By contrast, green papers, which are issued much more frequently, are more open ended. In business-to-business marketing[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Jump up ^ Michael A.

"Invisible Web" Revealed - SEW From The Search Engine Report July 6, 1999 Lycos and IntelliSeek, maker of the BullsEye desktop search utility, have teamed up to produce an index of search databases to help users find information that is invisible to search engines. The "Invisible Web Catalog" provides links to more than 7,000 specialty search resources. Users can browse listings, or Lycos will suggest appropriate databases within its own search results. This is a great new tool because there's lots of helpful information locked away in databases that can never be indexed by search engines. For instance, say you searched for "cancer." So to get the most out of the Invisible Web catalog, change your search strategy at Lycos. You can also browse the Invisible Web Catalog's listings by going to its home page.

Grey Literature - Research guides at University of Ottawa Welcome to this new Guide on Grey Literature! 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. How can Grey Literature be found? More and more search engines and library resources focus on Grey Literature.
