Additional Strategies for Finding Policy-Related Publications
Some strategies to help identify policy-related materials include:
search online - for example, limit Google searches to US government sites by including 'site:.gov' (no quotes) in the search
Similar can be done to limit Google searches to organization sites by including 'site:.org' (no quotes) in the search
check lists of references in books or articles
identify likely producers of reports, policy briefs, white papers, etc. (think tanks, government agencies, NGOs, etc.)
Look for Resources, Publications, Reports, Data or similar categories on agency or organization websites
identify experts in the topic and check their CVs for their publications, reports, conference talks, etc.
