Places to find literature aside from academic search engines (grey lit)

If you're not finding what you need in RIAAK, there are some other curated sources of material

These places will often contain research that is not indexed by google scholar

• Faunalytics: While their original studies are all indexed by academic search engines, and their Research library mostly contains accessible summaries of published papers, it does also cover reports, whitepapers and other scholarship, so worth a search.
• Rethink priorities: sometimes, but not usually indexed by Google Scholar
• Food systems research fund: some, but not all projects end up published in academic journals
• Animal Ask are currently not indexed by academic search engines, but I have told them about this and so this may be fixed at some point
• Ambitious Impact (formerly Charity Entrepreneurship) publish their research reports
  • I have been told that they don't publish everything, so if you're wanting to be extra thorough (or are really desperate for references) you could email them.
• The EA forum contains high quality writing.
• Tiny Beam Fellowship winners are sometimes missed by Google Scholar
• Animal charity evaluators' Reports are often novel scholarship
• Of course Bryant Research!
• Open Phil Don't post that often but when they post it's good stuff
• The Good Growth Co for research in Asia
• North Mountain Consulting are an alt-protein consultancy
• Food Frontiers is a non profit alt protein think tank
• Mintel is a leading market research company. Most reports cost $ but there are some for free here: https://www.mintel.com/insights/downloads
• YouGov is a leading polling company. Like Mintel they often charge for their reports but you can often find polling for free here. You can also find more detailed reports if YouGov did them on behalf of a client that chose to make the results free, as Compassion in World Farming did here. I have no systematic way to find these reports, if you do, let me know! Sometimes googling "YouGov" AND "what you're interested in" works.
• Compassion in world farming release new reports every year, often in depth
• Issue lab aren't only animals but they do stuff on food and animal welfare

Curated databases of papers

• Animal charity evaluators' Research Briefs are reviews of existing evidence
• Faunalytics Research library
• https://animaldataproject.org/
• Meat and masculinity literature review spreadsheet A sheet of sources for the Bryant project on Meat and Masculinity
• This is a google sheet that Chris uses for projects. Ideally we'll move it all into RIAAK at some point, but for now its here.
