III.1: Dissemination of Research

Improving dissemination of basic research results via Web and social media

Other Information:

What’s New – Tagging content to ease search, simplifying public feedback process: As part of an effort to disseminate more broadly its research results, NIST will implement a new website design based on a content management system. This system includes access to an improved database of research papers authored or co-authored by NIST researchers. Content posted on the new website will be “tagged” by topic, enabling the public to subscribe to receive Projects to Increase Data Availability and Accessibility Operating Unit Data Project Improving Dissemination of Basic Research Results via Web and Social Media NIST Improving Access to the Digital Data Repository of NIST Collections, including Publications, Artifacts, and Photographs Relating to Measurement Science Modernizing the NOAA Climate Database Severe Weather Data Inventory Ocean Surface Current Simulator San Francisco Exploratorium U.S. Drought Portal – Addition of Soil Moisture Observation Data Historical Climate Reanalysis Project NOAA NOAA Climate Services Portal Broadband Mapping NTIA Broadband Survey NTIS Making 5 years of Bibliographic Data Searchable Enhancing Patent Maintenance Fee Events Data Expansion of Patent Bibliographic Data USPTO Enhancing Existing USPTO Data Capabilities Available to the Public Public Schedule Data for Secretary Office of the Secretary Streaming Video for More Meetings new information posted on the website on specific topics of interest such as nanotechnology or energy-related research. The new website will also allow the public to comment or ask questions about posted research articles and to share easily content from the NIST site with their own websites. NIST has recently created YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter sites as well. To ensure that as many people as possible benefit from NIST’s work, news of major research results posted on the new NIST website will be routinely announced through these additional social media sites.
