About OSTI

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.

What Can You Do at OSTI?

You can find research results and science information from the Manhattan Project to the present, download documents, view energy citations, discover patents and e-prints, read about ongoing research projects and amazing accomplishments, search science confererence proceedings and software, and connect to U.S. and global science portals. You can do this by using special online tools, such as:

Why Are OSTI's Search Tools Special?

OSTI develops and maintains search tools that use a special technology (slide presentation) called "federated search."
