Other International Organizations
One of ETDE's key partners is the International Atomic Energy Agency's International Nuclear Information System, more commonly known as INIS. This relationship is particularly strong in the areas of data exchange and in authorities such as the thesaurus where having a common format is critical. Because of this collaboration and the fact that all ETDE members are also INIS members, most of the data in the INIS database is also included in ETDE’s Energy Database. This means that the database coverage in nuclear areas is worldwide. ETDE is an affiliate member of CrossRef. ETDE uses this affiliation to benefit database users by looking up and adding Digital Object Identifier (DOI) information to its database records when possible. Users then gain the ability to hyperlink directly to the publishers to get copies of the articles/papers/reports. ETDE has a special project with Elsevier to improve database coverage and timeliness for the energy journals published by Elsevier.- USDOE’s Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI)
