The Nuclear Science References (NSR) database together with its associated Web interface [1], is the world’s
only comprehensive source of easily accessible low- and intermediate-energy nuclear physics bibliographic
information for more than 200,000 articles since the beginning of nuclear science. The weekly-updated NSR
database provides essential support for nuclear data evaluation, compilation and research activities. The
principles of the database and Web application development and maintenance are described. Examples of
nuclear structure, reaction and decay applications are specifically included. The complete NSR database
is freely available at the websites of the National Nuclear Data Center http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/nsr and
the International Atomic Energy Agency http://www-nds.iaea.org/nsr.

JANIS 4: An Improved Version of the NEA Java-based Nuclear Data Information System
N. Soppera, M. Bossant, E. Dupont, Nuclear Energy Agency, Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development.
Recent development at the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Data Bank of the Java-based Nuclear Data
Information System (JANIS) is presented. JANIS is a display program designed to facilitate access to
various kind of nuclear physics data, such as basic nuclear structure information, radioactive decay data,
fission-fragment yields, cross-sections, energy and angular distributions etc. Its objective is to allow the user
of nuclear data to access numerical and publication-ready graphical representations without prior knowledge
of the storage format. The most common nuclear data formats are supported, and data originating from the
major evaluated libraries, such as ENDF/B, JEFF, JENDL, etc. can be displayed, computed, compared
together or with experimental nuclear reaction data from the EXFOR database. In addition, various
navigation and search tools are available to explore NEA relational databases. The JANIS software can
be launched online or as a standalone application. New features coming in the next release are described,
including the possibility to display private data in simple ASCII format, the ability to save and restore
the state of a JANIS session, and a new web interface that open new possibilities of nuclear data services.
Some examples of the potential of JANIS for nuclear data users will be given and future developments
exposed.
