Q. What is STIP and why is it important?
STIP is a DOE-wide program coordinated by the Office of
Scientific and Technical Information. STIP's mission
is to share scientific and technical information as
appropriate through a robust, collaborative, and innovative
program forged by all Departmental elements using
state-of-the-art technologies that are cost- effective and
allow maximum use of the information.
Q. When did STIP begin?
As a major science and technology
agency, the Department of Energy conducts research and
development (R&D) in a variety of fields.
Collecting, preserving, and making available for use the
resulting information has always been a commitment of the
Department and of its precursor organizations. The
current, collaborative framework of STIP formally began in
1997.
Q. Who makes up the STIP community?
STIP is comprised of the Department's program managers,
researchers, and scientific and technical information
professionals who work collaboratively to fulfill DOE's
obligation for the timely collection and broad dissemination
of the Department's STI. Although OSTI has the
responsibility to coordinate STIP, the success of the program
depends on the active participation and involvement of each of
the STI representatives from the various DOE offices and
contractor sites. Activities are coordinated through DOE Technical Information Officers,
who are the designated STI points of contact at DOE offices, with STI managers and STI points of contact at major
contractor-operated facilities and the national laboratories.
One component of the Department's STIP activities is the Scientific and Technical Information
Advisory Board (STIAB), which supersedes the Scientific and Technical Information Coordinating Group (STICG). The
Board is cognizant of Departmental STI activities and serves as an advisory body on crosscutting STI policies, issues, and
initiatives. The Board is chaired by the Director, Office of Science. Members of the Board are Federal employees and are
representative of the Program Secretarial Offices, the National Nuclear Security Administration, as well as other offices that impact STI
policies.
Q. Is there a DOE Order that governs STI?
Requirements and responsibilities for STI are provided in
DOE O 241.1A. The
primary objective of the Order is to ensure that STI is
identified, processed, disseminated, and preserved to enable
the scientific community and the public to locate and use the
unclassified and unlimited STI resulting from DOE research and
related endeavors. Additionally,
the requirements and responsibilities provide a mechanism to
manage and protect classified
STI yet make it accessible for appropriate access
by the Department, its contractors, and others.
