The Journal of Visualized Experiments (styled JoVE) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes experimental methods in video format.[1] It was established in December 2006. Moshe Pritsker is the CEO and co-founder.[2] The journal is abstracted and indexed in Index Medicus,[3] MEDLINE/PubMed,[4] BIOSIS Previews, and Science Citation Index Expanded.[5] The journal is based in Cambridge, MA. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 1.325.[6]
Format and scope
JoVE covers research methods and experimental techniques from both the physical and life sciences. The journal currently has 10 sections: Biology, Developmental Biology, Neuroscience, Immunology and Infection, Medicine, Bioengineering, Engineering, Chemistry, Behavior, Environment, and Science Education.
Function in replication
It is difficult to replicate many experiments with just a written description of what the original researcher did. Videos in the Journal of Visualized Experiments make it easier for a second researcher to follow the same procedures as the original researcher.[7]
Usage limits & copyrights
Authors own the copyright to the written article, but grant JoVE the exclusive use of the article, regardless of access type. Video copyrights are owned by JoVE. If the authors pay for open access, videos are published under the Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0 license. The author may use the video and article for non-commercial purposes. See the journal's copyright page.
Publication costs
JoVE currently operates as a subscription journal with an open access option despite having started out as a full open access publication. Submitting a closed access article with videos costs authors $2400 as of 2016 in addition to the subscription costs incurred by readers. The open access option is 75% more expensive at $4200. See the JoVE's costs page.
