The Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) is a component of the Office of Science within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). OSTI's mission is to advance science and sustain technological creativity by making R&D findings available and useful to DOE researchers and the American people. Accelerating science by increasing the contact rates among scientific communities is a priority for OSTI.
AtOSTI one can search collections of DOE research results, find out about ongoing research projects, explore significant DOE discoveries, learn about DOE Nobel Prize winners, access and search scientific e-prints, sign up for alerts on science topics of interest, find science conference papers and proceedings, connect with national laboratory education sites, and find other resources.
OSTI, located on Science.gov Way in Oak Ridge, TN
Sharing scientific and technical information is integral to OSTI’s mission. OSTI objective is to make R&D findings available and useful, so that science and technological creativity can advance.
OSTI provides access to energy, science, and technology information through publicly available web-based systems, with supporting tools and technologies to enable information search, retrieval and re-use.
