Open Access Week 2021: GigaScience’s 10 Examples of Open
Scott Edmunds - October 29, 2021
For Open Access Week 2021 we look back over 10 of our favourite GigaScience papers providing examples of barriers we’ve tried to break for more open science.
iMicrobe: Fostering Community-Driven Science and Data Discovery. Q&A with Bonnie Hurwitz
Nicole Nogoy - August 2, 2019
Author Q&A with Bonnie Hurwitz on the iMicrobe platform for open science and metagenomics, relevant to our FAIR principles and reproducible research.
2016: An Eventful Year for GigaScience
Nicole Nogoy - December 13, 2016
This year has been an eventful one, probably too eventful for many. For GigaScience it has been eventful too, although fortunately in a much more positive way than many have experienced. While there are fears of us entering a “post-truth” era, there is more need than ever for our role as promoters of transparency, reproducibility and providers of cold-hard data. We celebrated our birthday with Mickey Mouse, and experienced many other milestones. On the technical front, this year we have brought you better integration with citable and updatable methods, bigger better and broader data types, and much more. In the tradition of end-of-year-introspection, here is a summary of some of our 2016 achievements as we continue to push the boundaries of innovative publishing of all research objects and reproducible research.
Of Parasites & Protocols, Part 3. Author Q&A with Tony Papenfuss
Scott Edmunds - June 16, 2016
Following our announcement this month of a new collaboration and integration with protocols.io, we’ve gone into more detail on the first two papers that have utilised this open access repository of scientific methods and collaborative protocol-centered platform. To give some insight into his work, we have one of our author Q&As with Associate Professor Tony Papenfuss, lead author of our scabies genome paper.
Parasite Protocols Part 2. Author Q&A with François Olivier Hébert
Scott Edmunds - June 7, 2016
Following our “Reproducible Research Resources for Research(ing) Parasites” announcement of a collaboration with protocols.io, we thought we would go into more detail on our first papers integrating their methodologies on this platform. To give some insight into his work, we have one of our author Q&As with first author François Olivier Hébert.
Reproducible Research Resources for Research(ing) Parasites
Scott Edmunds - June 3, 2016
Two new research papers on scabies and tapeworms published today showcase a new collaboration with protocols.io. This demonstrates a new way to share scientific methods that allows scientists to better repeat and build upon these complicated studies on difficult-to-study parasites. It also highlights a new means of writing all research papers with citable methods that can be updated over time.
