Lab/Site Program Office Accepted Manuscript of Journal Article Product-Specific Information An accepted manuscript of a scholarly publication (i.e., journal article) is the final peer-reviewed accepted manuscript accepted for publication. This final version of the article which has been accepted by a publisher includes changes made during the peer-review process. Thus, it has the same content as the published article, but it is not the final published version or reproduction copy of what appears in the journal (i.e., it is not a "reprint" of the published article). The key criteria for submission of accepted manuscripts to DOE OSTI are (1) DOE partially or completely funded the research reflected in the article or accepted manuscript and (2) the article has been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. It is preferred that the final journal publication information (e.g., Digital Object Identifier) be included at the time of submission to OSTI to aid in the processing and display of the best available version.

S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patent gives the holder exclusive rights to a process, design or new invention for a designated period of time. The assignee could be a government agency or a company that is a contractor or grant recipient. After a patent is issued, the USPTO includes the patent in its database, making the patent application, full text, and other descriptive information accessible to the public. If DOE-funded research led to the patent, then this research result is of interest to DOE as a form of STI. Metadata Requirements OSTI obtains Patents of interest to DOE via special arrangements with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). Periodic review by Labs and DOE-funded inventors is desirable to ensure that all relevant patents are being included.

Facts, figures, analyses, and assumptions used during the life of the project to support the results are used to convey to the scientific community the findings during the project. Technical reports are an important source of STI derived from research projects sponsored by DOE and may include more comprehensive or in-depth experimental details than scholarly papers or presentations can. Workshop reports are similar in format, but the content is derived from a workshop, conference, or similar venue which focuses on a specific scientific or technical problem or topic. The workshop report may summarize various papers and presentations or give a synopsis of the topics addressed during the meeting. As a DOE STI product, a workshop report is typically prepared by a research organization (e.g., a lab or a university) as requested by a DOE program or subprogram to address a certain research topic.

It may contain a detailed written study of a single specialized subject or an aspect of it, including a manual describing a particular process. Each volume is a self-contained work, yet monographs may be a published in a series to provide detailed information on a specialized scientific or technical topic. A book may also be composed of chapters, and the STI product may be just one part or topic in the whole book to be published. Books and monographs may be published by the originating site (e.g., as e-books or technical fact sheets) or by a commercial publisher. If the STI product is a chapter, reference should also be made to the whole book.

Individual papers and presentations are those presented at an event by an individual whose work was sponsored by DOE, while a conference proceeding is the compilation of a group of papers from a conference, workshop, seminar, etc., typically prepared at the request of a DOE program that sponsored work in the area covered by the conference. Papers and proceedings are typically PDF documents, while presentations may be PowerPoint slides or videos.

This type of document may contain programmatic analyses, research needs assessment, outcome of a workshop on a specific technology or scientific topic, strategic or operational plan, or other types of program-specific information. The format may be similar to a technical report; however, since it contains an official government perspective, it would not include a disclaimer. The Program Office may have funded the preparation of the document through a contract or grant and will have significant involvement in the final content.

It reports scientific or technical results, as opposed to a research highlight, which describes a noteworthy current R&D project or field of investigation that, if successful, could lead to an S&T accomplishment.

Thesis/Dissertation Product-Specific Information A thesis or dissertation is an academic paper often based on original research, using scholarly resources, which is written by a candidate as a graduate school requirement for a higher academic degree (a master's or doctoral degree) or professional qualification. Dissertations and theses may be considered "gray literature" since they are not typically published commercially. In cases where the author's research was funded by DOE or conducted at a DOE facility, submission to OSTI as a scientific and technical information (STI) product facilitates access to federally funded research results.

Scientific and Technical Computer Software Product-Specific Information Scientific/technical software is computer software that has been developed and/or modified during work supported by DOE. As a form of STI, it is a result of research and development or other science and technology work and is a stable, usable version expected to be useful to others (that is, its use is not limited to a single site due to specific technology or equipment). As DOE's software management facility, OSTI manages the Software Center and DOE CODE, (website: https://www.osti.gov/doecode; email: doecode@osti.gov) the new software services platform and search tool for DOE-funded code.

Datasets may consist of numerical data, simulations from computer models, figures, tables, data plots, GIS data supporting interactive applications, genomic data, or other forms of non-textual data which are a basic component of research results. Often these datasets are referenced in publications and in some cases, are made available as supplemental information. To announce datasets through the OSTI STI process, the scientific research data must be posted at a DOE site, DOE Data Center, or other publicly accessible location such as an open repository. The URL (and DOI, if available prior to submission) must be included in announcement notice metadata. This link will typically take the user to a landing page which describes the dataset and what to expect in more detail. Datasets cannot be uploaded or stored at OSTI.

Responsibilities include effective management of DOE-sponsored STI to ensure broad dissemination balanced against statutory access limitations as appropriate.What is OSTI's Role?Within DOE, OSTI is responsible for coordinating scientific and technical information activities and for leading the STIP collaboration.Throughout its history, OSTI has worked with representatives across the agency-in laboratories, field offices, and Headquarters-to facilitate access to information and to promulgate policy and best practices for STI management.OSTI works to support this important complex-wide collaboration by increasing communications beyond the designated STI points of contact and engaging others across DOE in projects that advance STIP goals.The STIP FrameworkThrough the use of innovative technologies and open communication, the STIP framework supports and contributes to DOE's STI products and other important sources of DOE-sponsored STI. OSTI maintains information management systems and web-based databases, such as OSTI.GOV and DOE PAGES, to enable full use of DOE-funded STI and provides a suite of web products and services for publicly releasable STI, as well as systems to manage protected categories of STI as appropriate.
