==Nuclear Science Abstracts==

The EDB also contains the [[''Nuclear Science Abstracts]]'' which is a comprehensive abstract and index collection to the international [[nuclear science]] and [[nuclear technology|technology]] literature for the period 1948 through 1976. Included are scientific and technical reports of the [[US Atomic Energy Commission]], United States [[Energy Research and Development Administration]] and its contractors, other agencies, universities, and industrial and research organizations. Approximately 25% of the records in the file contain abstracts. Nuclear Science Abstracts contains over 900,000 bibliographic records. In comparison, the entire '''Energy Science &and Technology Database''' contains over 3 million bibliographic records.<ref name=WhatIs-EDB/>

==Scope==

This database is designed to be a source for any individual who requires access to worldwide energy related information. It also contains a comprehensive collection of [[nuclear research]], beginning with the [[Manhattan project]]. This database is applicable to the following:

Obtaining results of current energy research efforts.

Access subject specific information on energy sources, use, and conservation; environmental effects; waste processing and disposal; and regulatory consideration, as well as basic scientific studies.

Review energy information from a wide variety of sources, including journal literature, conference, patents, books, monographs, theses, and engineering and software materials.

Access historical records of the US Atomic Energy Commission, and US Energy Research and Development Administration.

==EDB Scope==

Review subject specific information on nuclear science from a wide variety of sources, including books, conference proceedings, papers, patents, dissertations, engineering drawings, and journal literature.<ref name=WhatIs-EDB/>

==Sources==

A combination of national, and international agencies, as well as multiple non-governmental organizations are the source for, and provide information to, this database. Information is provided through the [[Energy Technology Data Exchange]] (ETDE), which is the International Energy Agency's (IEA) multilateral information program, and through the International Atomic Energy Agency's [[International Nuclear Information System]] (INIS), and [[IEA Coal Research]]. Other source information is provided by the [[U.S. Department of Energy]], its contractors, other government agencies, [[professional societies]]. [[Engineering]] and [[software]] materials, references to [[Scientific journal|journal literature]], [[Academic conference|conference]]s, [[patents]], books, [[monograph]]s, and [[thesis]], make up the files of this database. Approximately 50% of these references are from non-U.S. sources.<ref name=multi-source>{{Cite web| last =Dialog Bluesheets| title =Energy Science and Technology| publisher =Dialog, LLC| date =June 1, 2010| url =http://library.dialog.com/bluesheets/html/bl0103.html| accessdate =2010-06-29| archive-date =2011-07-10| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20110710122839/http://library.dialog.com/bluesheets/html/bl0103.html| url-status =dead}}</ref>
