DOE Public Access

The Department of Energy Public Access Plan (June 2023) describes how DOE-funded research and digital data will become more open and available to the public and how DOE will use persistent identifiers to help ensure scientific and research integrity. Building on the previous DOE Public Access Plan (July 2014), the updated plan charts a path to:

• Provide free, immediate access to peer-reviewed, scholarly publications;
• Provide immediate access to scientific data displayed in or underlying publications and increased access to other data;
• Use persistent identifiers (PIDs) for research outputs, researchers, organizations, and awards.
