GigaByte is a peer-reviewed open-science journal published by GigaScience Press since 2020.[1] It focuses on short, focused, data-driven articles describing and sharing open research data sets and software.[2] Using an exclusively XML-based publishing system that automates the production process to make it simple to change views, languages and embed interactive content, in 2022 it won the ALPSP Award for Innovation in Publishing.[3]
In order to host the large data-sets the journal covers, like its sister journal GigaScience it uses its own in-house disciplinary repository: GigaDB.[4]
The journal is abstracted and indexed by PubMed/PMC/DOAJ and CNKI.
