The Department of Energy (DOE) Public Access Gateway for Energy and Science (DOE PAGES), developed and maintained by the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), provides free public access to scholarly scientific publications resulting from DOE research funding.  This access generally occurs within 12 months of publication. 

OSTI recently added citation metrics on DOE PAGES search results and article metadata pages.  Through an agreement with Clarivate Analytics, DOE PAGES uses Web of Science citation data to provide authors and readers with information about how many times an article has been cited by other works, a measure of the article's scholarly impact.  (For more information about this new publicly-accessible feature, please see the Search Tip below.)  Separately, through the agreement, DOE PAGES will display additional features and citation metrics for users with national lab and DOE IP addresses.  These enhancements are part of an ongoing effort to better serve the needs of DOE-funded scientists and the public. 

OSTI also recently compiled and posted a completely new and more extensive set of DOE PAGES FAQs.  The revamped FAQs provide answers to questions about public access, general information about DOE PAGES and its content, and advanced search help (such as what bibliographic data and metadata is searchable in DOE PAGES).  There is additional information for authors, including a flowchart outlining the process for submitting accepted manuscripts.    

When DOE PAGES was launched nearly three years ago, it contained an initial collection of accepted manuscripts and journal articles as a demonstration of its functionality and eventual expanded content.  Thanks to the support of DOE-funded authors at national laboratories and grantee institutions, the ongoing assistance of DOE program managers and the DOE Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP) community, and innovative collaboration with the publishing community, the portal now contains more than 36,000 accepted manuscripts and journal articles, including almost 30,000 that are publicly accessible in full text. 

OSTI continuously strives to improve its discovery tools, so as always, we invite and welcome feedback from DOE PAGES users.  Please submit comments and suggestions for enhancements to pagescomments@osti.gov.
