Metadata Record for Classified or UCNI

The metadata record provides OSTI with information required to appropriately identify, process, and/or announce, and disseminate the scientific and technical information (STI) results of classified or unclassified controlled nuclear information (UCNI) work funded by DOE/NNSA or performed in DOE/NNSA facilities. Classified and UCNI STI products are submitted securely by originating sites via the Classified E-Link product on the Enterprise Secure Network (ESN). Use the AN 241.5 Fillable Form (PDF 135.50 KB) file and AN 241.5 Instructions as references for submitting classified and UCNI STI to OSTI.  The online version of the metadata record form and detailed Help are available to authorized users of the Classified E-Link product on ESN.

For more information regarding classified and UCNI STI submissions, contact your Classified STIP Site Liaison.
