Public Access Policies: Other Federal Agencies

This guide provides basic information regarding the public access policies of U.S. federal agencies.

Plan for the DOE Public Access Policy

The Department of Energy Public Access Plan requires investigators receiving DOE funding to "submit the full text of accepted manuscripts and associated metadata" to the DOE's Office of Scientific and Technical Information.

 

Effective Date

The 2023 DOE Public Access Plan applies to publications arising from DOE-funding published on or after October 1, 2024.

Submission Methods

Final, peer-reviewed manuscripts can be submitted using the E-Link system to complete the AN 241.3 form

Instructions for completing the AN 241.3 can be found here.  

A tool specifically for submitting accepted manuscripts is also available

Manuscript Version Required

The manuscript version required is the final, peer-reviewed manuscript version. The DOE also refers to this as an accepted manuscript. This manuscript is the version of the article that has been accepted for publication and includes all changes made by the author during the peer-review process. It does not include the publisher's formatting.
