Science Accelerator

摘要

This federated search tool from the Department of Energy (DOE) provides access to a tremendous range of resources including DOE R&D reports and project descriptions, e-print Web sites and databases; Science Conference Proceedings, patents, a database of software that includes modelling programs, and the historic Energy Citations database with records going back to the 1940s. Another major resource accessible is the EnergyFiles website, a portal to another whole set of science and technology databases. Equally useful for searches in the history of science and cutting edge research, it provides citations to hundreds of thousands of articles, reports, patents and other scientific literature, many of which are backed up by links to full text sources or scanned documents. The content is housed in databases inaccessible to most search engines, and even the "findable" resources are so little-known that they would be buried near the end of Google results lists relying on linking algorithms.
