The term grey literature refers to a wide range of types of informational material which is made available to the general public by public and private sector organisations whose function is not primarily publishing. Such information includes reports, brochures, guides, dissertations, product information, budgetary data, memoranda, and research findings. A more formal definition is: “That which is produced on all levels of government, academia, business and industry in print and electronic formats, but which is not controlled by commercial publishers”.
The key difference between other sorts of publishing and grey literature is that the latter is not produced as a commercial undertaking, but as part of a communications process.

Gray Literature refers to papers, reports, technical notes or other documents produced and published by governmental agencies, academic institutions and other groups that are not distributed or indexed by commercial publishers. Many of these documents are difficult to locate and obtain.
