Reports, guidelines, pdfs and 'grey' literature

Government departments and other organisations often produce a variety of reports, guidelines, press releases, codes of ethics and briefs. These are known as grey literature. Grey literature can be published online (usually as a pdf document) or as a physical copy. When using grey literature it is useful, but optional, to include the type of grey literature in square brackets at the end of the title e.g. [Guidelines]. For reports with a report number, add the report number after the tile in parentheses e.g. (Report No. 72e).

See referencing Government departments as author for more details on names of Government departments.
