Department of Energy grey Literature Now Registered with Crossref

LYNNFIELD, MA. June 4, 2007 – The U.S. Department of Energy and Crossref are very pleased to announce that the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) has completed DOI ® registrations for more than 86,000 DOE technical reports with Crossref, the earliest report dating from 1933.

According to Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director, “Crossref’s discussions with OSTI about depositing technical reports began several years ago, and we are really thrilled that the mission is now accomplished. It marks a milestone in Crossref’s endeavor to establish a truly robust citation network, one that spans decades of research, different record types, and all disciplines.”

Dr. Walter Warnick, Director of OSTI, commented, “Coupling the vast resources available on OSTI’s Information Bridge with the capabilities of Crossref speeds access to DOE scientific and technical literature, placing it on the same footing as journal articles in terms of reference linking.”
