OSTI.GOV is the primary search tool for Department of Energy (DOE) funded science, technology, and engineering research and development (R&D) results and the organizational hub for information about the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI).  Restructured in 2018, OSTI.GOV combines the search structure of OSTI’s previous search tool, SciTech Connect, with information about OSTI and the tools and services it provides to users across the DOE complex and to the public.

OSTI.GOV search functionality makes over 70 years of research results from DOE and predecessor agencies discoverable.  Research results include journal articles/accepted manuscripts and related metadata; scientific research datasets and collections; scientific software; technical reports; patents; conference and workshop papers; and more.  OSTI.GOV was created to simplify the user search interface, combine the search tool with OSTI’s organizational website, help to unify OSTI’s product environment, and provide intuitive navigation beyond search functionality.  It brings together content about OSTI tools and services, including submission of research results, public access, data services, news, and the primary search tool for DOE-funded R&D results.

OSTI is an office within the DOE Office of Science, the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States.  Our mission is to advance science and sustain technological creativity by making DOE R&D findings available and useful to DOE researchers and the public.  Visit the About OSTI page to learn more.

OSTI.GOV contains over 70 years of energy-related research results and citations collected by OSTI.  It includes journal articles/accepted manuscripts and related metadata, technical reports, scientific research datasets and collections, scientific software, patents, conference and workshop papers, books and theses, and multimedia funded by DOE through a grant, contract, cooperative agreement, or similar type of funding mechanism from the 1940s to today.  This collection continues to grow as new scientific and technical information resulting from DOE research becomes available.

With nearly 3 million citations, OSTI.GOV includes citations to 1.5 million journal articles, one million of which have digital object identifiers (DOIs) linking to full-text articles on publishers' websites.  Additionally, OSTI.GOV holds over 445,000 full-text DOE-funded reports.  

OSTI.GOV also provides information about Office of Scientific and Technical Information and its other search tools, services, and operations.  It includes information about OSTI’s organization, leadership, and strategic plan; policy and guidance regarding the management and submission of DOE-funded R&D research results to OSTI; technical support for submitting research results using OSTI’s corporate submission tool, E-Link; resources about data services and developer tools, including Data ID Services, API documentation, OAI services, and DOE MARC records; and news about OSTI and its search tools and services.

Access to DOE-funded research results is managed by the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI).  OSTI offers several ways for the public to search for and discover scientific and technical information (STI) via freely available search tools.  The OSTI.GOV search tool offers access to an array of R&D results including resource types such as journal articles, technical reports, data, software, patents, conference papers, and more.  Other OSTI tools offer discovery of specific types of DOE-funded R&D results.  For example, DOE Public Access Gateway for Science and Energy (PAGES) contains journal articles and accepted manuscripts, DOE Data Explorer is comprised of research data, and DOepatents includes patent information.  Journal article information is also available through search tool APIs.  Visit Search Tools for further information.  

OSTI.GOV has replaced SciTech Connect as the primary search tool for Department of Energy (DOE) funded science, technology, and engineering research results.  It provides access to all the information previously available in SciTech Connect, DOE Information Bridge, and Energy Citations Database.

OSTI.GOV leverages the long-established DOE Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP) infrastructure and systems to aid in the collection, preservation, and dissemination of R&D results or scientific and technical information.  OSTI provides a corporate web-based system called DOE Energy Link (E-Link) for the submission of citation metadata and, if available, links (or electronic full-text files) to the full-text STI.  DOE National Laboratories and individual researchers use E-Link to submit scientific and technical information products, including journal article accepted manuscripts, technical reports, conference proceedings, scientific software, etc. 

The Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Link system (E-Link), developed and maintained by the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), is used for submitting scientific and technical information (STI) products, including journal article accepted manuscripts and other types of STI such as technical reports, conference proceedings, scientific software, etc.  E-Link facilitates the electronic submittal of STI to DOE by its client community, including researchers, reviewers, research administrators, and others doing business with DOE.

Once an STI record is submitted to E-Link, the record will be processed and become visible and searchable in OSTI.GOV.

Below is a table of all metadata fields collected in E-Link for each resource type.  Definitions of the metadata fields which appear in OSTI.GOV may be found in the FAQ below (What information is found in the Full Record in OSTI.GOV?).

Full Text/Resource Available: Includes records for which OSTI provides access to the resources, the full text, datasets, software, etc.  OSTI employs a distributed hosting model where some resources are hosted internally at OSTI, while others are hosted at organizations/institutional repositories and OSTI links out to those copies.  If you encounter an issue with a full-text document not opening properly or if you reach an error page, please Contact Us.

Citation Only: Includes all records in OSTI.GOV, regardless of type (journal article, technical report, dataset, etc.) that do not also have an associated resource available.  This may be because the full-text is unavailable from our office, a journal article is still within its 12-month administrative internal, or the record has not yet been digitized.  Copyright issues may also influence full-text availability. 

Journal Articles/Accepted Manuscripts: Includes final peer-reviewed accepted manuscripts, open access journal articles, and publisher’s versions of record. 

An accepted manuscript is defined as the version of the article that has been accepted for publication and includes all modifications resulting from the peer-review process, which is also called the final peer-reviewed accepted manuscript. It is the same content as the published version but does not include the publisher's copyediting, stylistic or formatting edits that will constitute the final "version of record" that appears in a scholarly journal.

An open access article is a journal article that has been published under a license that allows for free, immediate, online access and the ability to fully reuse the article.

A published article or publisher’s version of record is the final published article, including copyediting, stylistic edits, and formatting changes per a specific journal publisher. It is considered the "version of record" (VoR) because of potential post-publication updates such as errata, retractions, or other changes.

Datasets: Includes individual datasets and data collections from data centers, repositories, and other organizations funded by the Department of Energy. A data collection is a package of related datasets with a DOI for the entire collection. A dataset is a single instance of data whose boundaries have been defined by the data submitter, with a DOI associated. The data themselves reside at national laboratories, data centers, user facilities, colleges and universities, or other websites.  DOE Data Explorer is a discovery tool from OSTI that provides data-specific search functionality.

Software: Includes software and code announced to DOE CODE and contents from OSTI's retired product, the Energy Science and Technology Software Center.  The scope of this collection includes software created and/or modified during work funded by DOE or during work carried out for others at DOE facilities.

Technical Report: Includes documents that are the result of DOE-sponsored research projects that describe the process, progress, or results of research and development or other scientific and technological work, including recommendations or conclusions of the research and such information as the original hypotheses, approaches used, and findings.  Facts, figures, analyses, and assumptions used during the life of the project to support the results are used to convey to the scientific community the findings during the project.  They may include more comprehensive or in-depth experimental details than scholarly papers or presentations.  

Patents: Includes a curated list of issued patent records from DOE-funded organizations and researchers. The DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) obtains patent records funded by DOE directly from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; however, to ensure comprehensiveness, broad dissemination, and archival preservation, inventors funded by DOE may find it useful to submit information to OSTI through their particular STI submission channels. The DOE-funded, issued patents encompass the majority of the patent category. DOE-funded records can also be found within DOepatents, which offers more patent-specific searching capabilities.

In addition to the DOE-funded issued patent records, OSTI.GOV also contains some historical patent content. This includes issued patents of interest to DOE researchers that have been funded by other organizations, issued international patents, and a small number of patent applications. These records are not discoverable in DOepatents and are accessible only in OSTI.GOV.

Conference/Event: Includes STI products from a conference, symposium, lecture, or similar event.  Individual papers and presentations are those presented at an event by an individual whose work was sponsored by DOE, while a conference proceeding is the compilation of a group of papers from a conference, workshop, or seminar, typically prepared at the request of a DOE program that sponsored work in the area covered by the conference.  Format of these records can include PDF documents, PowerPoint slides, or videos.

Book/Monograph: Includes scholarly pieces of writing on a specific subject and is a self-contained work, though monographs may be published in a series.  Books and monographs may be published by the originating site (e.g., as e-books or technical fact sheets) or by a commercial publisher.  If the STI product is a chapter, reference will be made to the whole book.

Program Documents: Includes documents prepared by or for a DOE Program Office for the purpose of being published on behalf of a program, representing a program perspective.  It may contain programmatic analysis, research needs assessment, outcome of a workshop on a specific technology or scientific topic, strategic or operational plan, or other types of program-specific information.

Thesis/Dissertation: Includes academic papers often based on original research, using scholarly resources, written by a candidate as a graduate school requirement for a higher academic degree (a master’s or doctoral degree) or professional qualification.  Dissertations and theses may be considered “gray literature” since they are not typically published commercially.

Multimedia: Includes video and audio files produced by the DOE National Laboratories, other DOE research facilities, and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).  These are also discoverable in OSTI's ScienceCinema product, which offers additional audio search capabilities.

Miscellaneous:  Includes any STI not easily defined in one of the other above categories.

OSTI.GOV offers two types of search: semantic search and term search.  The default search for words or phrases entered into the basic search box from the homepage or at the top of every screen is “semantic” searching.  A semantic search technique called keyword-to-concept mapping is utilized, so your search term will be mapped to related scientific concepts allowing you to retrieve results related to your search term, but also to explore narrower and similar concepts.  Boolean operators are ignored in the basic search so your term can be easily mapped to other concepts.

The semantic search option applies only to the terms entered in the basic search keywords field.  Other fields in advanced search, including the general “all fields,” apply their supplied query terms directly as a term search, and allow Boolean operators to be used.

In advanced search (accessible via the green drop down arrow in the search bar), the term search works much like a basic Google search, where you can enter your terms into the search fields to retrieve results.  You can search for a single term or a phrase by putting it in "double quotes." Additionally, OSTI.GOV advanced search supports Boolean and proximity operators, wildcards, and parentheses for grouping:

Boolean Operators

OSTI.GOV recognizes the operators AND, OR, and NOT.

Example: A search for water AND "climate change" will return results that include both the term water and the phrase climate change.

Example: A search for water OR "climate change" will return results that include either the term water or the phrase climate change.

Example: A search for water NOT "climate change" will return results that include the term water but not the phrase climate change.

+ and - allow for a search to either be required or forbidden in the search results.

Example: A search for energy +water will return results that include the term energy and also include the term water.

Example: A search for energy -water will return results that include the term energy but not the term water.

Proximity Operators

Example: "nuclear energy"~3 will return results where nuclear and energy are within three words of each other in the bibliographic record.

Parentheses for Grouping

Example: A search for water AND ("climate change" OR energy) will return results that include both the term water and either the phrase climate change or the term energy.

Combined Basic and Advanced Search

OSTI.GOV offers the option to combine the basic semantic and advanced term searching for the best of both worlds.  To take advantage of this, enter your semantic search terms in the basic search box.  The term(s) you search will be mapped to related scientific concepts based on a thesaurus developed by OSTI, allowing you to retrieve results related to your search term, but also to explore narrower and similar concepts.  In the advanced search fields, you may then enter more specific words, phrases, or select from our drop-downs to narrow within the semantic search results.

Term Search

The advanced search fields in OSTI.GOV use term search. Term search applies the provided search terms exactly as entered, with no concept mapping, and allows use of Boolean operators.  If you are searching for a very specific title, author, or keyword, the term search may be more appropriate.

Semantic Search

The default search for words or phrases entered into the basic search box from the homepage or at the top of every screen in OSTI.GOV uses semantic search, and utilizes a technique called keyword-to-concept mapping.  The term(s) you search will be mapped to related scientific concepts based on a thesaurus developed by OSTI, allowing you to retrieve results related to your search term, but also to explore narrower and similar concepts.  Boolean operators are ignored in the semantic search so your term(s) can be easily mapped to other concepts.

This technique is an expansion of your search and will generally return a larger number of results.

Example: Using semantic search, a search for wind energy would be expanded to approximately 48 terms associated with wind and energy, including these:

wind power

renewable energy

wind turbines

energy efficiency

energy conservation

geothermal energy

The advanced search will allow you to perform more complex searches, offering you a number of fields, such as Title, Author, document Type, or Publication date, to help you refine your search results.

To access the advanced Search, select the green drop-down arrow from the search bar, either on the homepage or at the top of any subsequent page.

To access all advanced search features, click on the “More Options” selection at the bottom of the advanced search.

Advanced Search Fields:

All Fields – Searches all bibliographic data and the full-text of the journal article.  This field may also be searched using Semantic search technology.

Title – Searches only article titles

To create an OSTI.GOV account, select the Create Account link at the top right of your screen and enter the requested information.  You are required to provide your email address and create a password.  Each account must be registered with a unique email address.  After registration, you will be taken to your account management screen.  If you are a DOE community user, such as a federal employee or contractor, you are invited to provide some additional information at the time of registration, or through your account management screen.

An OSTI.GOV account allows you to save documents, save searches, categorize records into lists, export bibliographies, and create alerts. 

For members of the DOE Community:

Members of the DOE community (DOE Federal employee, contractor, or grantee), with approved account registration can view additional citation metrics on the article details page, including impact factor, citation impact by journal and by field, and the percentage rank by field for that year.  Users can also view a list of all resources referenced by or citing the article using the References and Cited By tabs at the top of the reference details page.  This information is provided as a service to DOE community users through an agreement with Web of Science. 

Additionally, an interactive reference and citation traversal tool has been developed which allows DOE community users to find more research of interest.  By selecting any title in the References and Cited By lists on either side of the original item, the tree is redrawn, moving that item to the center and showing its references on the left and cited by works on the right.  The original article will appear below the newly selected item, allowing users to keep track of the traversal path.  Users can continue to traverse the tree, moving either backwards through references or forward through citations with the path always preserved in the center of the tree.

Yes.  You can create an OSTI.GOV account, which will allow you to save and categorize documents, save searches, export bibliographies, and create content alerts.  To set an alert, save the search to your account, then choose your alert settings from your list of saved searches.

In addition to electronic full-text, OSTI maintains a paper and microfiche archive of DOE-funded STI that has not yet been digitized.  If you find a citation on OSTI.GOV that you wish to have as full-text, please check the document availability link at the left side of the citation page.  You will find instructions for how to request more information or start the process of obtaining full-text materials.

OSTI.GOV includes software and code announced to DOE CODE and contents from the predecessor software product, the Energy Science and Technology Software Center.  OSTI.GOV contains software records for DOE-funded software, links to open code repositories, and a request form for software that this not publicly available. 

In June 2016, OSTI added a mechanism for users to add their works found in OSTI.GOV directly to their ORCID Works profile.  This feature also extends to E-Link in that users may choose to give OSTI permission to update their Works anytime a new or updated record is submitted via E-Link including their ORCID iD. 

For additional assistance, Contact Us.

How do I add records to my ORCID Works?

To add OSTI.GOV records, please make sure that you have completed the login and authorization procedures, available from the “Sign In” page at the top of OSTI.GOV. Once authorized, conduct a search as you would normally, using the basic or advanced search as you choose. When you identify a record that you have authored or coauthored, choose to "Add to ORCID Works", found at the right-hand corner of the record listing in the results list. OSTI.GOV will ask if you would like to add this record. Select "Add to ORCID WORKS" again in the pop-up text box. You have now added this record to your Works list.

How do I authorize OSTI to make changes to my ORCID Works?

To access this feature and authorize OSTI to make changes, please click on “Sign In” at the top right of any OSTI.GOV webpage.  On this account login screen, you will find information regarding the ORCID integration feature, as well as a link to “Create or connect your ORCID iD,” available at the bottom of the page (you will most likely need to scroll down to view this link). Selecting this link will open a new window or pop-up webpage where you may sign in to your ORCID account, or create a new ORCID account as needed. Follow the directions on this screen and select "Authorize" to grant permissions. Once signed in with ORCID, you will be prompted to “close this window,” which will return you to OSTI.GOV with your ORCID Works connected. To confirm that you are connected, you should see your name and ORCID iD number on OSTI.GOV. 

How will records be added to my Works if they are submitted in E-Link?

This process is totally hands off for you, the user, once OSTI has been granted authorization. Any unlimited access records from this point forward that come into E-Link with your ORCID iD will automatically be added to your Works list.

How do I view the OSTI.GOV records that have been added to my Works?

Please ensure you are logged in to ORCID through OSTI.GOV by following the steps described above.  Once logged in, any records that have been added to your Works that are found in OSTI.GOV are visible on your dashboard page. To view this page, click on the ORCID symbol at the top of OSTI.GOV, next to the sign-in page. You should see your ORCID account details and a tab titled "ORCID Works in OSTI.GOV." Click on this tab and you should see the list of records that you have authored and added to your profile found in OSTI.GOV.

Will the records I add to my Works be updated if the metadata changes?

We understand that sometimes metadata changes. Perhaps the abstract is updated or an author added to a record after its initial submission to OSTI through E-Link. If any OSTI record is updated after it has been added to your ORCID Works, regardless of whether you added it through OSTI.GOV or it was added on your behalf (submitted including your ORCID iD) via E-Link, it will automatically be updated in your ORCID profile. For as long as you grant OSTI permission to make changes to your Works, any new update will be sent to your Works profile. If authorization is removed as described in Troubleshooting below, records will no longer be updated automatically and will remain as they appear at the time of the change in permissions.

Troubleshooting:

Why aren't the works I selected showing up on my list in OSTI.GOV?
If you can see them in your ORCID profile but not in the list on OSTI.GOV, it is most likely an issue of privacy settings. Please ensure that your privacy settings on ORCID for who may view your Works are set to "Everyone." After the OSTI.GOV page has been refreshed, you should now see that title in your list of ORCID Works in OSTI.GOV. If the data displayed is still different, please Contact Us.

Why are the records I've added different than what I see in OSTI.GOV? 
If the metadata you see in SciTech is different than what displays on your ORCID Works list, ensure that you have not revoked access from OSTI to make changes to your profile. OSTI must have current authorization for the most recent updates to be included. If you do have current authorization, please refresh each page and check again. If the data displayed is still different, please Contact Us. 

Can I remove authorization for OSTI to add or update my Works? 
Yes. If you are sure you would like to remove this authorization, go to the Account Settings on the ORCID website. Under "Trusted Organizations" you will see an entry for DOE/Office of Scientific and Technical Information. This list is automatically sorted by approval date, so depending on when authorization was granted or other organizations you have authorized, you may have to search your list. To remove OSTI, select the trashcan on the right side of both entries. It will give you the option to Confirm or Cancel revocation of access from OSTI. Note: If you choose to revoke access, the records that have been added via OSTI.GOV or E-Link will remain in your ORCID Works list; however, they will no longer be updated automatically if metadata changes. You will need to manually curate them from that point forward.
