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]
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 2023 impact factor of 11.8.[10]
