GigaDB: a redesigned repository for data publishing and management
Abstract
GigaDB is a repository that links research articles with the underlying datasets, software, and metadata, helping to support open and reproducible research. As of February 2026, it contains 2,710 published datasets, covering 90.56 TB of data. Over the past year, the platform has been rebuilt to better support the growing scale of the repository and to improve data submission, management, discoverability, and reuse. The updated system is organized around four core modules: role-based permission control, dataset management, workflow management, and dataset retrieval. These improvements make submission and curation more efficient and transparent, strengthen access to published data and related resources, and provide a strong foundation for the future development of GigaDB services.
