Next-generation sequencing technologies have revolutionized genomics and altered
the scientific publication landscape. Life-science journals abound with genome
papers-peer-reviewed descriptions of newly sequenced chromosomes. Although they
once filled the pages of Nature and Science, genome papers are now mostly
relegated to journals with low-impact factors. Some have forecast the death of
the genome paper and argued that they are using up valuable resources and not
advancing science. However, the publication rate of genome papers is on the rise.
This increase is largely because some journals have created a new category of
manuscript called genome reports, which are short, fast-tracked papers describing
a chromosome sequence(s), its GenBank accession number and little else. In 2015,
for example, more than 2000 genome reports were published, and 2016 is poised to
bring even more. Here, I highlight the growing popularity of genome reports and
discuss their merits, drawbacks and impact on science and the academic
publication infrastructure. Genome reports can be excellent assets for the
research community, but they are also being used as quick and easy routes to a
publication, and in some instances they are not peer reviewed. One of the best
arguments for genome reports is that they are a citable, user-generated genomic
resource providing essential methodological and biological information, which may
not be present in the sequence database. But they are expensive and
time-consuming avenues for achieving such a goal.
