Popis: The term gray literature refers to printed or electronic research that is either unpublished or has been published in non-commercial form. Many systematic reviews and meta-analyzes do not include gray literature sources and studies published in languages other than English. Their inclusion increases accuracy and can reduce systematic errors. it is very important to include the gray literature in the screening among the sources while conducting scientific studies, in order to obtain evidence-based results. Acta Medica Alanya journal includes gray literature especially in its compilation and editorial writings and supports citing articles from our country including Turkish in its research articles.
