Twentieth International Conference on Grey Literature
‘Research Data Fuels and Sustains Grey Literature’
Loyola University, New Orleans, USA ● December 3-4, 2018

 

 <http://www.textrelease.com/gl20callforpapers.html> GL20 Call for PapersThe
definition of research data is as encompassing as the field of grey
literature. What should be included and what should be excluded is and
remains an issue of concern. Research data can be defined as factual
materials collected by diverse communities of practice required to validate
findings. While the majority of research data is created in digital format,
research data in other formats cannot be excluded. The formats in which
research data appear are multiple and the types of research data are
diverse. This also holds for the numerous document types in which grey
literature appear published.

Today, while emphasis is placed on big data, the fact that the majority of
research projects are small to medium size is overlooked. This is but
another characteristic that holds true for grey literature. Nonetheless, one
should be aware that research publications are not research data, for they
are often managed separately from one another. Just as there are a number of
stakeholders involved in the production, access, and preservation of grey
publications, so too are there stakeholders tasked with the creation and
management of research data. Libraries and data management librarians have
the responsibility for the curation of the data they collect and preserve.
And, it is important to stress the need to maintain appropriate metadata
related to research data in order to facilitate their interpretation and
further reuse.

Over the past quarter century, grey literature communities have worked
diligently to demonstrate how their documents are produced, published,
reviewed, indexed, accessed, and further used, applied, and preserved.
Today, these communities are now challenged to demonstrate how research data
fuels and sustains their grey literature. These communities of dedicated
researchers and authors maintain a strong conviction in the uses and
applications of grey literature for science and society. Through the years,
they have proved willing to share the results of scholarly work well beyond
their own institutions. Hence, one can assume they are aware that innovation
forfeits with the loss of data as with the loss of information. This 20th
International Conference in the GL-Series seeks to address key issues and
topics related to grey literature and its underlying research data.
