Scientific findings are communicated through various media – e.g., textual, multimedia, audiovisual, and digital (Best Practices for Portable Document Format (PDF) Creation) - and are produced in a range of products such as technical reports, conference papers and presentations, theses and dissertations, scientific and technical computer software, journal articles, workshop reports, patents, publicly available scientific research datasets, or other types of STI. STI may be classified, Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI), Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), or unclassified with no access restrictions. DOE-funded STI originates primarily from research and other activities performed by site/facility management contractors, direct DOE-executed prime procurements, DOE-operated research facilities, and financial assistance recipients, in addition to DOE employees.
