Find pages with Award BBack to Top Batch UploadBatch Upload is a mechanism used to submit multiple announcement records simultaneously. Find pages with Batch Upload CBack to Top Catalog(See STI/Metadata Curation)In library and information science, cataloging is the process of creating metadata representing information resources. Cataloging provides information such as creator names, titles, and subject terms that describe resources, typically through the creation of bibliographic records. Metadata are in machine-readable form and are indexed by information retrieval tools, such as bibliographic databases or search engines. OSTI includes Abstract and Indexing (A&I) as one aspect of metadata curation. Find pages with Catalog CategoryThere are four categories of classified information. Classification categories of Restricted Data (RD), Formerly Restricted Data (FRD), and Transclassified Foreign Nuclear Information (TFNI) are governed by the Atomic Energy Act and Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1045. The classification category of National Security Information (NSI) is governed by Presidential Executive order (E.O.) 13526 and 32 CFR part 2001. Find pages with Category Change NoticeA Change Notice is a mechanism used by sites to notify OSTI when the Access Limitation for STI has been changed. Find pages with Change Notice Classification LevelClassified information is identified by level and by category. The classification level is based on the damage to national security that would be caused by unauthorized disclosure. There are three levels of classification: Top Secret, Secret, and Confidential. See "Category" for informaton about how Classified Information is categorized. Find pages with Classification Level Consortium AgreementA formalized agreement whereby a research project is carried out by the recipient and one or more other organizations that are separate legal entities.

Find pages with JSON LBack to Top Legacy CollectionComprised of STI products, presently available only in paper form, spanning the period from the late 1940s to 2001, produced by government contractors, and by predecessors to the U.S. Department of Energy, i.e., the  Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), and the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA). Find pages with Legacy Collection Legacy DocumentsRefers to STI submissions that fall into one of the following categories:         1.  Entered into site's internal review and release cycle but were not identified as STI requiring submission to OSTI, but should have been submitted to OSTI based on 241.1B submission requirements.     2.  Did not enter site's internal review and release cycle but should have been submitted to OSTI based on 241.1B submission requirements.     3.  No site process existed to ensure that STI that should have been submitted to OSTI occurred. STI that has not been submitted to OSTI by sites per DOE Order 241.1B may date back many years and in some instances decades.  The distinction between current and Legacy (backlog) submissions may be important in relation to documents reviews required per certain DOE Orders (e.g. 241.1B, 452.8, etc.) and additional regulatory requirements. Find pages with Legacy Documents Life Cycle Information ManagementLife Cycle Information Management indicates that information resources need to be managed as long as they are useful.  The activities involved include planning, coordinating, budgeting, organizing, protecting, delivering, storing, and disposition.

The Department of Energy (DOE) requirements for reporting scientific and technical information (STI) for financial assistance awards is established by DOE O 241.1B, the DOE Special Terms and Conditions for Grants and Cooperative Agreements (link is external), 2 CFR 910, 48 CFR 935.010, and 10 CFR 60...5 (The Office of Science Financial Assistance Program).The initiator of the financial assistance award, usually the sponsoring program office, in coordination with the Contracting Officer, specifies the type, frequency, and content of STI reports or products required under the corresponding financial assistance award. The DOE Federal Assistance Reporting Checklist and Instructions (DOE F 4600.2) (link is external) provides a checklist of STI reporting requirements and instructions for submitting STI for DOE financial assistance awards. DOE's Contracting Officers are required to ensure that the STI products required by the reporting checklist are included in the award agreements and are provided to OSTI as specified per the terms and conditions of the award. Additional Guidance for submission of STI products is provided by way of the DOE Financial Assistance Guide (link is external).Generally, research and development (R&D) awards require a final scientific/technical report which is to be submitted within a certain time after the expiration of an award.  Submissions of final, peer-reviewed accepted manuscripts for published articles resulting from the award are also required, per the DOE Public Access Plan (link is external).  Additionally, awards may call for identification of STI products developed under the award and technology transfer activities, i.e., journal publications; other public releases of research results; Web or Internet sites that reflect project results; software; databases; inventions; patent applications and/or licensing agreements, some of which are suitable for announcement and availability as STI. Another example of an appropriate STI submission includes documents that provide an analysis or summary of the research program.Submitting STI Products to DOE via Energy-Link (E-Link)The financial assistance recipients must submit the required STI products resulting from R&D funded work as specified by the DOE F 4600.2 (link is external).Contracting officers and contracting officer technical representatives are responsible for ensuring that the required STI products, as identified on DOE F 4600.2, are monitored and provided to OSTI per the DOE F 4600.2 instructions. DOE contracting officers, DOE STI releasing officials, and other select DOE office staff will be provided access to E-Link upon request to ensure appropriate review of the DOE Announcement Notice (AN) 241.3 metadata and the accompanying full-text for the product submission. Prior to releasing the AN 241.3 and corresponding STI product, the respective DOE office's STI releasing official is responsible for ensuring appropriate review of the announcement data and the accompanying full-text for restrictions on the announcement and availability of the full-text information. This review will include the identification of any restrictions on the announcement, accuracy of data protection markings consistent with the respecting AN 241.3 IP Distribution Limitation, and availability of the full-text; correction of previously submitted records, if necessary; and the release of STI products to OSTI.Contract Closeout Related to STI ProductsContracting officers are to ensure that required STI products are submitted electronically and received by the Department by way of Energy-Link (E-Link) prior to closing out the award. Contracting officers or other DOE staff may obtain a password to access E-Link and can query the STI metadata for their respective awarding office. The metadata may be searched by contract/grant number, title, author, report number, and OSTI identification number. Apply for E-Link access here (link is external).

The Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Link system (E-Link) and DOE CODE are the two primary submission resources used for electronically submitting scientific and technical information (STI) products that are created during DOE-funded research or other work.E-LinkThe DOE Office of Scientific and Tec...hnical Information (OSTI) has developed E-Link as a resource to electronically submit scientific and technical information (STI) products that are created during DOE-funded research or other work. E-Link is used by DOE-funded financial assistance recipients (i.e., grantees), DOE national laboratories and other major facilities, and by DOE offices at HQ and in the field.Within E-Link, OSTI provides different Announcement Notices for different audiences and product types. Business rules for metadata and full-text handling are associated with each Announcement Notice.  In addition, some Announcement Notices can be submitted via automated methods.DOE CODEDOE CODE is another online resource where DOE National Laboratories and DOE Program Offices can submit metadata and access points to DOE-funded code. DOE CODE provides functionality for collaboration, archiving, and discovery of scientific and business software.It is recommended that before you start submitting your STI, you review the Submission Basics.

The Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) fulfills the Department of Energy (DOE) responsibility to collect, preserve, and disseminate research and development (R&D) results emanating from DOE funding. Through our search tools and services, we ensure the Department's R&D information ...is publicly available and also useful to the DOE research community. Primary Search Tool Figure 271948: OSTI.GOV 250 OSTI.GOV 250 OSTI.GOV is the primary search tool for DOE science, technology, and engineering research information. OSTI.GOV contains over 70 years of scientific and technical information from DOE and DOE predecessor agencies, and it employs an innovative semantic search tool enabling scientists, researchers, and the public to retrieve more relevant information.
