Abstracting and indexing

BioImage Archive


The BioImage Archive (BIA) stores and distributes biological images that are useful to life sciences researchers. It also provides data archiving services to the broader bioimaging database community including added-value bioimaging data resources such as EMPIAR, Cell-IDR and Tissue-IDR.

  • Please note that any changes to links to images or references to images on BioImage Archive must be completed before publication of the article. The record cannot be corrected after publication of the paper.
  • To use the BioImage Archive site, authors can submit their data and receive an accession identifier, which can then be referenced in the publication and released at the same time. The BIA can also link from the dataset to its associated publication. Please see the instructions on submission here: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/bioimage...
  • Linking to the whole dataset or individual image files is possible at the moment. Linking/visualisation of subcomponents of images (for example particular 2D planes within a 3D image) is not currently possible.
  • There are no associated charges for using the BioImage Archive.
  • The BioImage Archive can provide metrics on both whole dataset and individual file access - the frequency of these metrics is to be determined.
