Department of Energy Office of Science
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science mission is to deliver the scientific discoveries and major scientific tools that transform our understanding of nature and advance the energy, economic, and national security of the United States. The Office of Science Statement on Digital Data Management has been developed with input from a variety of stakeholders in this mission. Here, data management involves all stages of the digital data life cycle including capture, analysis, sharing, and preservation. The focus of this statement is the sharing and preservation of digital research data.
The Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program offers Additional Requirements and Guidance for Digital Data Management which supplement but do not replace the requirements and guidance in the Office of Science Statement on Digital Data Management.
