Harvesting Data from the NASA STI Repository

The STI Repository promotes the dissemination of NASA STI to the widest audience possible by allowing information to be harvested. In support of these objectives, the upgraded repository has an OpenAPI to provide greater access to publicly available data and further flexibility for dissemination of NASA research results. The OpenAPI is the recommended mechanism for access to NASA’s public collection of STI, and is available along with the following API documentation and guidance:

New External Submission Updates

External NASA-funded researchers: NASA has entered into a partnership agreement with the Clearinghouse for the Open Research of the United States (CHORUS) publishing group. NASA researchers who publish in a CHORUS member’s journal can now more easily satisfy the Agency’s requirements for public access .

If your publication is already available from CHORUS, you may not need to directly submit your final peer-reviewed manuscript to NASA PubSpace. New submissions to NASA PubSpace have moved from the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system to the NASA STI Program.

Improving Timely Access to NASA Research by Removing Embargoes for Accepted Manuscripts in NASA’s PubSpace

October 5, 2023

As of October 27, 2023, embargoes will be removed for accepted manuscripts submitted to NASA’s PubSpace , a collection within the STI Repository (NTRS) . This update allows NASA research to be immediately available to the science community after being submitted, reviewed, and approved through STRIVES, NASA’s system for processing scientific and technical information. Records from the Clearinghouse for the Open Research of the United States (CHORUS) available in PubSpace may still be embargoed based on the publisher.

Writing Resources and Style Guides

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Writing Resources and Style Guides

Key to writing success is the ability to organize a discussion in a logical, well-thought-out manner, one that conveys the desired message with clear language and accurate syntax. For this reason, many authors find themselves referencing various resources for writing, style and usage. With so many options available, it is difficult to know which resources are best.

The truth is that most highly rated industry standard resources on technical and scientific writing approaches—or on grammar and usage—should suffice.
