About Science Conference Proceedings
The OSTI Science Conference Proceedings
portal was devised to expedite access to conference papers and
proceedings in various fields of science and technology. Emphasis is on
U.S. conferences hosted and/or published by scientific and professional
organizations whose areas of focus relate substantially to the
Department of Energy's mission. This portal provides the capability to
search for conference information on multiple web sites and databases
with a single query utilizing a combination of surface web and deep web
tools (specifically Distributed Explorit from Deep Web Technologies)
that can reach where ordinary search engines cannot. Read more about the
Search Architecture.
Features include:
- A simple search capability.
Enter the text you want to search for, check the sources you want to
query, and click the "Search" button.
- An advanced search
capability supporting searches on author, title, and date-ranges, as
well as full-text of proceedings (where available). Enter the text you
want to search for in the appropriate box, check the sources you want
to query, and click the "Search" button.
- An option to display results
by ranking or by source. The display by relevance ranking is the
default. If you would like to display results by source, click on the
"See Results by Source" button.
Some information accessible
through this site may have limitations on its use (including copyright)
or contain terms and conditions. For information about these
limitations, terms and conditions, refer to the specific organization.
Documents from some sites may be available for purchase through an
on-line shopping cart.
The DOE's Office of Scientific
and Technical Information (OSTI) provides free public access to the
Science Conference Proceedings portal. The full text of any documents identified
by a query are, in most cases, the property of the organization on
whose site they are found and may be downloaded or purchased according
to that organization’s policy.

- American
Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG):
Queries at this site search the Search and Discovery online journal.
Search and Discovery is an online journal for upstream energy (oil,
gas, and energy minerals), linking new ideas, data, and technology
related to the exploration and development of the various energy
sources.
- American
Chemical Society (ACS): Queries
at this site search the ACS Personal Scheduler. The ACS Personal
Scheduler is a searchable database that contains the entire program for
national meetings. It includes symposium titles, paper titles, authors,
abstracts, special events, and exhibitors. Its primary functionality is
to search the technical program and non-technical events and save a
personalized meeting itinerary for meeting attendees. An archive of
past meetings is also available dating back to the 1998 Dallas National
Meeting.
- American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA):
The AIAA Electronic Library represents more than four decades of
technical information and documents. Titles, authors, and full text may
be searched.
- American Institute
of Physics (AIP): AIP Conference
Proceedings report findings presented at many of the most important
scientific meetings around the world. Volumes from year 2000 forward
are covered.
- American
Meteorological Society (AMS):
This search engine searches for abstracts, authors, and topics across
AMS meetings and conferences. It only searches in simple search mode,
permitting restriction by conference.
- American
Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE):
The Civil Engineering Database (CEDB), which is provided at this site,
is designed to provide easy bibliographic access to all ASCE
publications. The database covers all the journals, conference
proceedings, books, standards, manuals, magazines, and newspapers.
Journal papers with abstracts go back to 1970. Non-abstract journal
records go back to 1958. The book records are complete dating back to
the early 1900s. Title, author and full text searching are allowed.
- American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME):
Conferences may be searched by title, date and location. Papers may be
searched by title, author/affiliation, and abstract words.
- Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM): Using
a simple search engine, access is provided to the full text of every
article published by ACM, including 50 years of archives.
- Electric Power Research
Institute (EPRI): Simple and
advanced search options are available. Advanced search options include
keyword, product type, program area, and date.
- Energy
Citations Database (ECD): Energy
Citations includes bibliographic records of literature in disciplines
of interest
to DOE such as chemistry, physics, materials, environmental science,
geology, engineering, mathematics, climatology, oceanography, computer
science and related disciplines. It includes citations to report
literature, conference papers, journal articles, books, dissertations,
and patents.
- Institute
of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE):
You can search IEEE products by Title, Author/Editor, ISSN, ISBN,
Product Number, Standard Number, or use Quick Search to look up
keywords presented in IEEE Product Descriptions and Table of Contents
as well.
- International
Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE):
This search engine permits the user to search volumes by title,
author/editor, technical interest area and date. It also permits query
of papers by title, abstract, authors, and date.
- Los Alamos
National Laboratory (LANL): This
site lists LANL conferences and workshops.
- National
Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL):
This site hyperlinks to NETL conference proceedings from 1996 to
present.
- National
Nuclear Data Center (NNDC): A
partial list of conferences and meetings of interest to users of the
NNDC nuclear information services is provided. This list only includes
those meetings which provide information via the World Wide Web. Past
meetings are listed if the URL is still active and the meeting was held
less than a year ago.
- Stanford
Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC):
The user can search for conferences by location and title, for papers
by author, paper title, or conference.
The
DOE Science Accelerator searches multiple science
resources, including Science Conference Proceedings. These resources, developed by
OSTI, reside in the
deep Web where popular search engines cannot go. The DOE Science Accelerator provides a "deeper" search that yields results ranked by relevancy. This search may take a little longer, but returns more comprehensive, higher quality science information.
