Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI)
http://www.osti.gov/
Office of Science and Technical Information (OSTI) within the Department of Energy has a mission to share scientific and technical
information with the public from the time of the Manhattan Project (1940's) to the present. OSTI provides a wealth of multidisciplinary
research material (due to the wide-variety of fields covered from the broad energy research performed by the Department of
Energy from their site. OSTI offers its Science Accelerator (http://www.scienceaccelerator.gov/) providing a single search that "allows [one] to search via a single query across important collections of the U.S. Department
of Energy's (DOE's) scientific and technical information. An advanced search is offered showing the various sources searched
in the Science Accelerator.
For more specific scientific and technical reports, one should use the Energy Citations Database and the DOE Information Bridge.
- Energy Citations Database (http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/) allows one to search for bibliographic citations for DOE technical reports from 1948 to the present (this includes DOE's
predecessors the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Energy Research & Development Administration." This database "includes
scientific and technical research results in disciplines of interest to DOE such as chemistry, physics, materials, environmental
science, geology, engineering, mathematics, climatology, oceanography, computer science and related disciplines. It includes
bibliographic citations to report literature, conference papers, journal articles, books, dissertations, and patents." Advanced
searching and email alerts are available in the Energy Citations Database.
- DOE Information Bridge (http://www.osti.gov/bridge/) allows one to search for full-text DOE technical reports from 1994 to the present. "The Information Bridge contains documents
and citations in physics, chemistry, materials, biology, environmental sciences, energy technologies, engineering, computer
and information science, renewable energy, and other topics of interest related to DOE's mission." Advanced searching and
email alerts are available in this database too.
