2. OSTI is a program within the DOE Office of Sciencewith the
corporate responsibility for ensuringappropriate access to DOE
R&D results. DOE invests over $10 billion/year in basic
sciences, cleanenergy technology, nuclear research. The immediate
output from this investment is informationknowledge R&D
results. OSTIs mission is to accelerate scientific progress
byaccelerating access to this information. Energy Policy Act of
2005The Secretary, through the Office of Scientific and Technical
Information, shallmaintain within the Department publicly available
collections of scientific and technicalinformation resulting from
research, development, demonstration, and commercialapplications
activities supported by the Department. 3. Department of
EnergyScientific and Technical Information ProgramDOE R&D
results are: Collected from DOE offices, labs, and facilities, as
well as university grantees; Preserved for re-use; and Made
accessible via multiple web outlets.OSTI works to ensure that:
Research results from DOE programs areshared globallyplus
DOE-supported researchers have access toscientific discoveries from
around the world 4. Scientific research is conducted at many
agenciesacross the federal government. Scientists and researchers
produce a lot ofinformation, in many different formats: Textual
reports, journal articles, conference proceedings, patents
Multimedia videos, images Data 5. Hard to FINDHard to NAVIGATEHard
to CITE 6. Data should be cited in just the same way that other
sources ofinformation, such as articles and books, are cited.Data
citation can help by: enabling easy reuse and verification of data
allowing the impact of data to be tracked creating a scholarly
structure that recognizes and rewards data producers 7. What is
DataCite? A global consortium composedof local institutions focused
onimproving the scholarlyinfrastructure around datasetsand other
non-textualinformation. A service for assigning DigitalObject
Identification (DOIs) andmetadata to datasets. DataCite
(www.datacite.org) helps researchers find, access and reuse data.
8. Easier identification and access of datasets across
theinternational community of researchers via DataCitesresolving
tools Linkage between DOEs R&D documents and theunderlying
datasets generated by the research Standard format for including
data in the accepted bibliographic citation framework Aid
researchers in locating exact datasets used in previous work, thus
allowing verification of results or new uses for the data 9. DOE
Data ID Service DOE/OSTI is the only U.S. federal member of
DataCite. Interagency agreement in place with NIH project;
indiscussions with seven agencies representing 12 projects. OSTI
Partnered with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to pioneerprocedure.
First DOI for a DOE dataset was minted and registered withDataCite
on 8/10/2011. DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) has
nowregistered over 400 datasets. 10. Dataset Type Originating

SearchingSince science is not bound by agency,organization, or
geography We integrate or aggregate multiple government
R&D-relateddatabases into single-search portals. Innovative
technology drills down to selected databases andwebsites in
parallel, then presents ranked search results. 13. Drills into the
deep web, where scientific databases reside Finds dynamically
generated content living inside thosedatabases; high-quality
managed subject-specific content Returns current, real-time results
Presents no burden for database owner Allows for fielded
searchingPlus Inexpensive to implement No need-to-know for user No
searching door-to-door Automatic interoperability achieved 14.
Parallel Searching Visualization Clustering Relevancy Ranking 15.
Science.gov Integrates Federal Agency R&D ResultsOSTI developed
and operates Science.gova single search box portal toSTI from 13
federal science agencies.Represents 97 % of the federal research
