Science.gov : FirstGov for Science - Government Science Portal

Description

About Science.gov

Science.gov 1.0 was launched in December 2002, providing for the first time wide public access and a unified search of the government’s vast stores of scientific and technical information. Science.gov is an interagency initiative of 16 U.S. government science organizations within 12 Federal agencies. These agencies form the voluntary Science.gov Alliance. Visitors to the site can search across Alliance agency resources via one query.

Version 2.0 was launched in May 2004 and introduced real-time relevancy ranking to government science retrieval. This technology, funded by the Department of Energy, helps citizens sort through the government’s reservoirs of research and return results most likely to meet individual needs. An advanced search capability and other enhancements were added.

In February 2005, Science.gov launched a free and convenient “Alert” service that delivers information about the most current science developments to desktops each Monday.
