The second national Where is the evidence conference on the role of grey literature in policy and practice will be held at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne on Monday 11 November 2013. This year the conference will explore issues around the value of grey literature - for research, policy, health, industry and many other sectors. And how we can calculate and measure that value.
Does your organisation PRODUCE or COLLECT policy reports and papers?
We need to hear from you!
While knowledge of how people use evidence for policy making has grown in the last few years, little is known about its production and to what extent it is collected and managed.
