GigaScience is an open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on studies in the field of ‘big data’ in the biological and biomedical sciences. Launched in 2012, it aims to promote research that involves comprehensive and integrative data analysis across various biological disciplines. The journal is known for publishing studies that utilize large-scale datasets, providing insights that would be challenging to achieve through more traditional smaller-scale studies. GigaScience emphasizes the transparency and reproducibility of scientific research by requiring that datasets associated with the research articles be publicly accessible, often through its affiliated data hosting platform, GigaDB. This commitment supports advancements in data-driven research methodologies and promotes an open-science culture in the life sciences community.
