What Does OSTI Do?
OSTI, a part of the Office of Science within the U.S. Department of Energy, makes research results and science information freely available to the public. We do this through a suite of special online tools (Key Resources) developed and maintained at our facility in Oak Ridge, TN.
What Else Does OSTI Do?
- OSTI coordinates the DOE Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP), a complex-wide collaboration of create, collect and share scientific and technical information. STIP ensures that DOE scientific and technical information is publicly available and maintained in a central collection.
- OSTI leverages Strategic Alliances to provide research information of interest to the Department in a wide range of scientific disciplines.
- OSTI provides stewardship of the Department's 60+ year legacy of scientific and technical research results.
