Journal of Visualized Experiments

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]

Abstracting and indexing

JoVE 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 aimed at instructing scientists in fundamental concepts and methods[7] 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

Some experiments can be difficult to replicate if they involve techniques that are unfamiliar or unusually sensitive, and a short written description of the original scientific methods might not be sufficient. JoVE videos are a step-by-step visual guide of the actual experiment so that the minute hand movements and other subtle manipulations necessary to perform the experiment successfully can be seen.[8]

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 institutions. The open access option is available for $4,200. See the JoVE's costs page.
