To mark Crossref’s 25th anniversary, we launched our first Metadata Awards to highlight members with the best metadata practices. [GigaScience Press](https://www.gigasciencepress.org/), based in Hong Kong, was the leader among small publishers, defined as organisations with less than USD 1 million in publishing revenue or expenses. We spoke with Scott Edmunds, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief at GigaScience Press, about how discoverability drives their high metadata standards. * * * This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at [https://www.crossref.org/blog/raising-the-standard-gigascience-press-on-metadata-and-discoverability](https://www.crossref.org/blog/raising-the-standard-gigascience-press-on-metadata-and-discoverability) ---
