Presented by Overton's Morgan Adle, join us for this Research Spotlight for a session focused on finding policy documents and grey literature in Overton Index.

This walkthrough will explore the policy search in depth, helping you locate, refine, analyse and export relevant policy documents.

In this one-hour session, you will learn how to:

  • search for policy documents using keywords and advanced search techniques
  • apply filters to refine and target search results
  • explore reports, exports and other tools for analysing search results
  • find relevant policy and grey literature using best practices.

You will also have the opportunity to ask questions during the Q&A.
