# Search Tools

The Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) fulfills the Department of Energy (DOE) responsibility to collect, preserve, and disseminate research and development (R&D) results emanating from DOE funding. Through our search tools and services, we ensure the Department's R&D information is publicly available and also useful to the DOE research community.

## Primary Search Tool

Figure 271948: OSTI.GOV 250
OSTI.GOV is the primary search tool for DOE science, technology, and engineering research information. OSTI.GOV contains over 75 years of scientific and technical information from DOE and DOE predecessor agencies, and it employs an innovative semantic search tool enabling scientists, researchers, and the public to retrieve more relevant information. OSTI.GOV has over 3 million total records.
