FAQ

Questions OSTI owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I search for research papers by a specific author?

    You can use the search_osti_records capability and provide the author's name in the author parameter. The agent will return a list of matching records from the OSTI.GOV repository.

  • 02

    What is the difference between searching OSTI records and Data Explorer records?

    Use search_osti_records for general research information like publications and reports. Use search_data_explorer_records specifically when you are looking for scientific datasets.

  • 03

    Can I reserve a DOI for my research before it is public?

    Yes, if you have an E-Link token, you can use the reserve_doi action. You'll need to provide the title, product type, and your site ownership code.
