Office of Scientific and Technical Information
The Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), in Oak Ridge, Tennessee , is a program and division of the Office of Science in the United States Department of Energy (DOE) .
The mission of the OSTI is to make research and development results accessible to researchers and the American people in order to advance science and strengthen technological creativity. For the OSTI it is important to accelerate the progress of science by increasing the scientific exchange.
On the websites of the office, specialist databases with research results from the Ministry of Energy can be searched and ongoing research projects can be found. The OSTI enables access to public, scientific and technological e-prints and conference reports via its websites, offers push services for scientific topics, links to state teaching offers, helps with instruments and technologies for information searches and refers to other sources.
The office provides the world's most important source of information in the field of energy and is the largest partner in the science portal Science.gov . The OSTI initiated the former literature database PubSCIENCE in 1999 and is involved in the science portal WorldWideScience .
