OSTI extends the reach and impact of DOE research results and brings the world’s research to DOE.

 

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) fulfills the agency’s responsibilities to collect, preserve, and disseminate scientific and technical information (STI) emanating from DOE research and development (R&D) activities.  In addition to agency enabling legislation, this mandate is emphasized in Section 982 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005: "The Secretary, through the Office of Scientific and Technical Information, shall maintain within the Department publicly available collections of scientific and technical information resulting from research, development, demonstration, and commercial applications supported by the Department."
 

Today, OSTI provides access to scientific and technical information using web-based searchable databases, offering ever-expanding sources of R&D information to DOE, the research community, and the science-attentive public.  The databases offer search simplicity as well as advanced capabilities, such as customized alerts, results displayed in relevance rank, and downloadable search results for a broad array of scientific information related to DOE missions.  OSTI works with DOE program offices, field offices, national labs, and grantees to acquire the STI from Departmental R&D.

 


 

DOE Science Resources

 

SciTech Connect

Find technical reports, bibliographic citations, journal articles, conference papers, books, multimedia, software, and data information sponsored by DOE through a grant, contract, cooperative agreement, or similar type of funding mechanism from the 1940s to today.

SciTech Connect is the primary repository for DOE science, technology, and engineering research information.  SciTech Connect contains over 70 years of scientific and technical information from DOE and DOE predecessor agencies, and it employs an innovative semantic search tool enabling scientists, researchers, and the public to retrieve more relevant information.  SciTech Connect now has more than 2.85 million total records, including citations to 1.5 million journal articles, 990,000 of which have digital object identifiers linking to full-text articles on publishers’ websites.  SciTech Connect also has more than 427,000 full-text DOE-sponsored STI documents.  More information is available at SciTech Connect.
