The bibliographic database INIS is produced in international co-operation, coordinated by the IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency. It provides scientists in R&D with bibliographic information on the fields of nuclear research and technology. INIS was established in 1970 with the aim to foster the exchange of scientific and technical information on peaceful uses of atomic energy.  The currently 123 INIS member countries and 24 international organizations supply citations of the literature published in their countries and institutions.
