The Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) leads Department of Energy (DOE) e-government initiatives for disseminating R&D information. Located within the DOE Office of Science (SC), it is responsible for leading the Department's Technical Information Management Program (TIMP) and for providing direction and coordination for the dissemination of scientific and technical information (STI) resulting from DOE research and development (R&D) programs. In efforts to effectively disseminate STI, OSTI hosts a number of products that provide a vast array of information and resources pertaining to energy science and technology.

OSTI also coordinates the Department-wide Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP), a complex-wide collaboration to lead the Department in the Information Age.
