About E-Link

E-Link facilitates the electronic submittal of scientific and technical information (STI) between Department of Energy (DOE) and its client community including researchers, reviewers, research administrators, and others doing business with DOE. STI deliverables provided to DOE through E-Link are announced, as appropriate, on web search tools maintained by the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), which provide free and convenient public access to full text and bibliographic records for STI resulting from DOE-funded research.

Purpose

E-Link is a corporate DOE system through which STI, sponsored by DOE, may be submitted and/or announced electronically to DOE's central coordinating office, OSTI. OSTI ensures that STI is identified, processed, disseminated, and preserved as part of the DOE mission. The information provided will be handled in accordance with the access/distribution limitations provided in the metadata record.

In addition to online submission capability, E-Link provides for Departmental electronic review of deliverables from Financial Assistance Awardees and provides DOE and DOE contractors with search and STI management reporting capabilities.
