'Grey literature' is not my favourite term but it will do for now I guess. It includes "research and technical reports, briefings and reviews, evaluations, working papers, conference papers, theses, and multimedia content." In other words, just about every publication related to research that is not a formal academic publication. The Pisa Declaration referred to here is a "call for increased recognition of grey literature's role and value by governments, academics and all stakeholders, particularly its importance for open access." I'm not sure why a declaration is needed for this but I can't say I disagree with it. I wish it didn't feel like marketing for the 'Grey Guide' report. More at GreyNet.
