The Interagency DOI (IAD) Service is provided by DOE OSTI to other US government agencies to assign DOIs to their research outputs. The IAD Service can be tailored to meet agency needs. OSTI provides infrastructure to assign and register DOIs with DataCite to aid in citation, discovery, retrieval, and reuse. OSTI also provides a community of practice, onboarding training, DOI assignment guidance, and technical support. DOI assignment for IAD Service clients is provided on a cost-reimbursable basis. For more information about the IAD Service, interested agencies can contact IAD@osti.gov.

OSTI became a member of DataCite in 2010 to facilitate citing, accessing, and reusing publicly available scientific research datasets produced by DOE-funded researchers. DataCite is an international not-for-profit organization that supports data visibility, ease of data citation in scholarly publications, data preservation and future re-use, and data access and retrievability. DataCite provides DOI services as a registration agency of the DOI Foundation.
