For more than a quarter century, grey Literaturecommunities have explored ways to open
science to other methods of reviewing,
publishing, and making valuable information
resources publicly accessible. This Twenty-FirstInternational Conference on Grey Literature
seeks to demonstrate how the principles ofscience and advancements in information technology have impacted thefield of grey literature and in turn how grey literature by implementing thesehas contributed to the open science movement. Open science is defined as
the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination
accessible to all levels of an inquiring society1. Grey literature by definition
seeks to make publications produced on all levels of government,
academics, and business openly accessible different from those controlled
by commercial publishing. As such the open science movement incorporates
the work carried out by grey literature communities andrenders an even broader framework encompassing
newer forms of grey in both textual and non-textual
formats. Open science encompasses the life and physicalsciences as well the social sciences and humanities as
does grey literature. Open science recognizes the value ofgrey literature in the process of knowledge generation
and as such acknowledges contributions made byresearchers, authors, and their communities of practice.
Open science changes the way research is done andallows for convergence with the field of grey literature. It is within the open
science movement that grey literature and its wealth of information
resources are valued and properly exploited for society as a whole.

The Grey Journal is the flagship journal for the international grey literature community. It crosses continents,
disciplines, and sectors both public and private. The Grey Journal not only deals with the topic of grey literature but
is itself a document type classified as grey literature. It is akin to other grey serial publications, such as conference
proceedings, reports, working papers, etc. The Grey Journal is geared to Colleges and Schools of Library andInformation Studies, as well as, information professionals, who produce, publish, process, manage, disseminate,
and use grey literature such as researchers, editors, librarians, documentalists, archivists, journalists, andintermediaries. http://www.greynet.org/thegreyjournal.html

GreyNet launched its DOI Minting Service
A digital object identifier DOI is a character string or ‘digital identifier’ used touniquely identify an object such as an electronic document. Metadata about theobject is stored with the DOI name and may include a location or URL where theobject can be found. The DOI for a document remains fixed over the lifetime ofthe document, whereas its location and other metadata may change. Referring to
an online document by its DOI provides more stable linking than a URL, because if
the document’s URL changes, the publisher need only update the DOI metadata
to link to the new URL. https://search.datacite.org/works?query=greynet
