Jacso Reviews 4th Edition of Science.gov
Dr. Jacso writes:
The fourth version of this search portal is an excellent tool for searching a variety of scientific-technological government document repositories and other science databases of 12 U.S. government agencies in one fell swoop. It is supported and maintained by the CENDI inter-agency working group, and is powered by the Explorit software of Deep Web Technologies, Inc. It offers good search filters for focusing the search and layering the search results (although indirectly) by disciplinary areas (environment, health, etc.) and it does efficient results ranking and even has sort options by title, author, source and publication date. Date range also can be used for narrowing the search. In spite of some oddities, it is a far better resource for finding information about scientific papers of federal government agencies than the special government search engines of Google and Microsoft.
