)GigaScience is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that was established in 2012.[1] It covers research and large data-sets that result from work in the biomedical and life sciences.[2] The editor-in-chief is Scott Edmunds. Originally, the journal was co-published by BioMed Central and the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI).[3] In 2016, it left BioMed Central to form a new partnership between the GigaScience Press department of BGI and Oxford University Press.[4] In 2018, GigaScience won the Association of American Publishers' PROSE Award for Innovation in journal publishing in the multidisciplinary category.[5]
GigaDB and GigaGalaxy
In order to host the large data-sets the journal covers, GigaScience has built and integrated its own disciplinary repository: GigaDB.[6] The journal also provides a Galaxy-based platform to analyze data, GigaGalaxy. The journal has tried to promote the use of Galaxy pipelines as publishable research outputs through its 'Galaxy Series' of articles.[7]
Abstracting and indexing
The journal is abstracted and indexed by Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed,[8] the Science Citation Index Expanded,[9] CAS, CNKI, EMBASE and Scopus. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 9.238.[10]
