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]
