Innovative article publishing and data hosting
About The Journal Open access, open-data online journal optimized for the publication of all
types of biological studies that use or create large-scale data sets. Novel publication format that combines standard manuscript publication
with an extensive database that hosts all associated data. Scope includes studies from the entire spectrum of life and biomedical sciences, including imaging, neuroscience, ecology, medicine, ‘omics, and other
types of large-scale shareable data.Data are released under a CC0 license, making them, as much as possible under
law, in the public domain so that others may freely use these for any purposes without restriction under copyright or database law.Editorial interaction with the different biological communities to determine
the best means of hosting and accessing their type of data. Integrated tools to promote more widespread access, viewing, and analysis
of the stored data. BGI Cloud Computing resources for handling and analyzing large-scale data. All Data given a DOI to allow ease of finding and citing datasets, as well as for
citation tracking.
Why DOI®s?– Clear method for data tracking and data citation, allowing:
• Increased searchability (and use) of data • Credit for data production, making it clear who produced
the data and when• The ability to track and receive feedback on data usage• Credit to original authors for their data’s use • A data citation metric potentially rivaling and
complementary to the impact factor• The potential to publish papers relating to a dataset,
while making the data available and receiving credit for it earlier
To maximize its utility to the research community and aid those fighting the current epidemic, genomic data is released here into the public domain under a CC0 license. Until the publication of research papers on the assembly and whole-genome analysis of this isolate we would ask you to cite this dataset as:

And others that are currently under review
• Five of these datasets illustrate the future of early data release: These datasets are being released before their analysis papers are published.
• These data can now be used by the community and the data cited with a DOI:
• This promotes very rapid data release, as the data producers can receive citable credit— the primary means by which most academicians receive career advancement.
• Thus, DOI and citation of data reduce the need to delay data release until after publication of the more detailed data analysis paper.
Datasets without published analysis papers

Dr. Clare Garvey, Editor of Genome Biology, has informed us, and agreed for us to announce, that The sorghum genome analysis paper has just been accepted in Genome Biology. It will be published later this month, and that paper will include the data citation in the references where it can be easily tracked by Thompson ISI, and allow the easiest way currently possible for readers today to find and use that data.
