GigaDB and GigaGalaxy

In order to host the large data-sets the journal covers, GigaScience has built and integrated its own disciplinary repository: GigaDB.[5] 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.[6]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed by Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed,[7] the Science Citation Index Expanded,[8] and Scopus. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2018 impact factor of 4.688.[9]
