Our mission is to solve national security challenges through simultaneous excellence.

We achieve maximum impact on strategic national security priorities by integrating research and development solutions with operational excellence and community engagement.

As a federally funded research and development center, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) aligns our strategic plan with priorities set by the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE NNSA) and key national strategy guidance documents. We execute work across all of DOE’s missions: national security, science, energy, and environmental management. Scientific and engineering capabilities developed through LANL’s stockpile research are part of what makes DOE and NNSA a science, technology, and engineering powerhouse for the nation.

LANL’s Research Library amplifies the Laboratory’s mission-driven research by enabling LANL researchers to learn powerful skills and access expertise and scholarly information, developing new methods for managing data and information, and connecting researchers with colleagues and the broader scientific ecosystem. With that in mind, the LANL Research Library is participating in the IEEE OA On Demand program which offers a discount on IEEE APC fees for LANL authors. More information on the APC fee process and Open Access for LANL authors can be found below.
