Use the DOE Data Explorer (DDE) to find scientific research data - such as computer simulations, numeric data files, figures and plots, interactive maps, multimedia, and scientific images - generated in the course of DOE-sponsored research in various science disciplines. The DOE Data Explorer provides access both to collections and to individual datasets that have been submitted to OSTI by their creator, by a DOE National Laboratory, or by a DOE Data Center.
OSTI became a member of and a registering agency for DataCite in 2011 and now assigns Digital Object Identifiers to individual datasets. DataCite provides a good definition of a DOI and why one is important at http://datacite.org/whatisdoi. The assigning and registration of a DOI for every dataset submitted is a free service provided by OSTI to enhance DOE's management of this important resource.
The publicly available data collections and individual datasets support DOE research results that are well documented in journal articles, conference literature, and technical reports. Those reports themselves, along with published papers and articles, are indexed in OSTI's suite of database products; search them through the Science Accelerator.
