Office of Scientific and Technical Information

The Office of Scientific and Technical Information ( OSTI, dt: Office of Scientific and Technical Information), in Oak Ridge (Tennessee), is a program and a division of the Office of Science in the Department of Energy of the United States ( Department of Energy, DOE).

The mission of the OSTI is to make researchers and the American people, results from research and development accessible to, in order to promote the science and improve their 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 can be searched with research results of the Department of Energy and current research projects can be found. The OSTI allows through its websites access to public, scientific and technological e -prints and conference proceedings, provides push services for scientific topics, is linking to State teaching, helps with tools and technologies to search for information and references to other sources.

The Office provides the world's most important source of information in the field of energy and is the major partner in the Science Portal Science.gov. The OSTI initiated in 1999 the former literature database PubSCIENCE and is involved in the Science Portal Worldwide Science.
