Abstract:

Our research studies the influence of information produced as “grey literature” by the Gulf of Maine Council (GOMC). To date we have assembled a bibliography of GOMC publications and analyzed the literature bibliometrically. GOMC publications are now distributed more efficiently via the Internet than in print and are used and cited in a number of contexts. We are proceeding with an in-depth analysis of use.
