Citizen Science at UNEA4 As GigaScience has the aim of opening and democratising science as far as it can go, we even work towards the involvement of non-professional “citizen scientists” in the scientific process.

Dr Yang Tuo collecting in Ruili, CC-BY Our Biggest Dataset Yet. Oh, Ruili? * A new Data Note* provides genome sequencing data that effectively triples the number of plant species with available genome data.
On the occasion of the first “BigDataDay” at our university, I have summarized on the below poster our two main efforts to automate the publication of our tiny raw data. On the left is our project automating Buridan data deposition at FigShare using the ROpenSci plugin and the consequence of just sending the links to the data and the evaluation code to a publisher, instead of pixel-based figures, when submitting a paper.
Geldwäsche, Steuerflucht und krumme Deals werden durch komplexe Firmengeflechte getarnt. Ein Transparenzregister ermöglicht Recherchen für Journalisten, Bürger und Geschäftspartner. Die Daten sollten öffentlich und kostenlos zugänglich sein. Deutschland gilt nach wie vor als Geldwäscheparadies.
We at GigaScience are pleased to have won the 2018 the PROSE Award for Innovation in Journal Publishing in the multidisciplinary category, as innovation has been a key element in our goal to change how scientific publishing is done. The Association of American Publishers (AAP) has been giving awards for 42 years to recognize distinguished professional and scholarly books, reference works, journals.
Der Städte- und Gemeindebund hat vorgeschlagen, Kommunen sollten ihre Daten verkaufen. Wie man es auch dreht und wendet: Es bleibt eine schlechte Idee.

Regierungen und andere öffentliche Einrichtungen stellen zwar viele Informationen und Daten bereit, uneinheitliche Lizenzen schrecken jedoch oft davon ab, sie weiter zu verwenden. Zu diesem Befund kommt ein Bericht der Organisation Open Knowledge International, welche sich der Förderung von offenem Wissen widmet.
GigaScience utilizes and promotes Open Science in all its forms, and one of the key areas in this ecosystem is Citizen Science – opening and democratising science to such an extent it is powered by public participation.
