The Journal of Visualized Experiments (styled JoVE) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes experimental methods in video format.[1] The journal is based in Cambridge, MA and 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] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal had 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 13 sections: Biology, Developmental Biology, Neuroscience, Immunology and Infection, Medicine, Bioengineering, Engineering, Chemistry, Behavior, Environment, Biochemistry, Cancer Research, and Genetics. JoVE also publishes Science Education collections covering fundamental concepts and methods in a range of fields including biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and practical subjects like laboratory safety, cell culturing, and care of Drosophila flies.
Function in Replication
It is difficult to replicate many experiments with just a short written description of the original scientific methods. Videos in the Journal of Visualized Experiments make it easier for a second researcher to follow the same procedures as the original researcher.[7] These videos comprehensively lay out a step-by-step visual guide to an experiment, examining the minute hand movements and manipulations necessary to perform scientific experiments.
Publication Costs
JoVE currently operates as a subscription journal with an open access option, though JoVE started out as a full open access publication. JoVE will produce high quality videos for authors on-site in their laboratories. Submitting a closed access article to acquire a Jove Produced Video costs authors $2,400, as of 2017, in addition to the subscription costs incurred by readers. The open access option is available for $4,200. See the JoVE's costs page.
