Document Information

DOI — Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) are persistent identifiers assigned to research outputs. If a DOI has already been assigned, provide it with the record being submitted. If the [dataset/technical report/conference poster or presentation] does not already have a DOI, one will be assigned to it by OSTI.

Example: https://doi.org/10.2172/XXXXXXX.

Title — The descriptive or general heading given to the STI being submitted.

Description — Provide a clear, concise, and publicly releasable English language summary of the information content. To fill this field, you can cut and paste from any word processing file.

Keywords — These are words or phrases that describe the content of this product. More than one keyword may be entered.

Subject Categories — Select one or more categories from the list provided. Select them in order of relevance to the product. You can review the list of subject category descriptions on the Authorities page.

Report Number — This unique identifier may be assigned by you, your org, lab, or university to internally name this report. Use DOE, an acronym that identifies the awardee, and the final five to seven characters from your contract or grant number.

Example: For grant #SC0016524, with Yale University, the report number would be: DOE-YALE-16524 or DOE-YALE-SC16524. If the contract or grant requires more than one technical report, you may use a suffix to identify them.

Example:
1st report: DOE-YALE-16524-1
2nd report: DOE-YALE-16524-2
3rd report: DOE-YALE-16524-3

Authors & Contributors — Authors are the main scientists, researchers, or organizations involved in creating, authoring, or producing the research output/scientific and technical information resource. Contributors are people or organizations who may have been involved in acquiring resources, collecting data, analyzing resources, developing methodologies, validating information, visualizing data, or otherwise contributing the output, but would not be considered authors.

Examples of Authors: Authors of a journal article; creators of the dataset; presenter of a conference poster; author of a technical report.

Examples of Contributors: A person who edited the technical report; a person who developed the methodology used to develop the journal article; a person who curated the dataset; a person who acquired the funding to purchase an instrument used for data collection.

Note: Authors and Contributors can vary by discipline, community, or lab. It's up to the STI creators/submitters to make that determination.

Selecting the "+ Add Author or Contributor" button will open a new dialog box where you can enter author or contributor information. Author/contributor order can be changed by using the arrow button on the right of each row. Author/contributor information can be edited by selecting the row.

Additional Helpful Information

Public Access — The Department of Energy Public Access Plan (June 2023) describes how DOE-funded research and digital data is made available to the public and how DOE uses persistent identifiers to help ensure scientific and research integrity.

Dataset Landing Page (Dataset only) — The URL that resolves to a publicly facing page (without login required) that provides information about and access to the data. The landing page must include a direct link to the data and/or its component files, or information on how to request access. URLs must be a valid https:// link in order to be accepted. Do not enter the direct URL link to the data.

DOI Infix (Dataset only) — The DOI infix field allows you to optionally provide an alphanumeric character string (limited to 50 characters) in your record that adds "intelligence" to the DOI assigned. The infix is inserted between the unique prefix for the organization and the unique OSTI ID that forms the suffix.

A DOI can contain three components. The prefix is the first component and is assigned by the DOI registration agency. The infix is the optional second component that can contain information from the STI submitter that is useful to the originating site organization, such as the project or repository names. Once a DOI Infix is submitted to OSTI, it cannot be edited because it is part of the DOI string. The suffix is an internal identifier assigned by OSTI, the OSTI ID.

Example DOI: https://doi.org/10.2172/DOEOSTI/12345.

Dataset Title (Dataset only) — The title of the data object. Please be as descriptive as possible to help with discoverability of the record.
