  Science Research Connection
  The DOE Science Research Connection (SRC) has been designed to replace the DOE Information Bridge (IB) or DOE Energy Citations Database (ECD). This database has been designed and developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) with the DOE community in mind. Its creation is consistent with OSTI's objective to improve access to the Department's scientific and technical information. DOE SRC is available without charge to users, but users of the DOE SCR will need to register in order to have access comparable to that of the DOE IB.
