Accepted Manuscript Submissions for DOE PAGES(Beta) Officially Start October 1, 2014

On August 4, 2014, the Department of Energy (DOE) launched the DOE Public Access Gateway for Energy and Science^Beta (DOE PAGES^Beta), a portal and search engine that makes scholarly scientific publications resulting from DOE research funding publicly accessible and searchable at no charge to users.

DOE PAGES^Beta was developed and is maintained by the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) in response to a February 2013 White House Office of Science and Technology Policy memorandum that called on federal agencies to develop and implement plans to provide public access to the results of research they fund within a year of publication.

When fully operational, DOE PAGES^Beta will offer free public access to the best available version of DOE-affiliated scholarly publications – either the peer-reviewed, accepted manuscript or the published scientific journal article – after an administrative interval of 12 months.  When a publisher provides a publicly-accessible article about DOE R&D results, DOE PAGES^Beta will link to that article; if the article is not available, DOE PAGES^Beta will provide access to the corresponding accepted manuscript.

As a key step in implementing DOE PAGES^Beta, DOE is building off its existing scientific and technical information (STI) reporting practices to require the submission of peer-reviewed accepted manuscripts for DOE-funded researchers starting October 1, 2014.
