Scientific journal is a lot like YouTubePublished: 12/07/2011

"Are you tired of reading textbooks and journal articles? Imagine if you could research your lab report or learn an experimental technique by watching a YouTube video. I just learned that you basically can, thanks to the Journal of Visualized Experiments."

Peer-Reviewed Publishing Goes OnlinePublished: 11/18/2011

Language:
"What JoVE does is publish research online accompanied by video. For Dumonceaux, a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and adjunct professor in the Department of Veterinary Microbiology, explaining his work in front of a camera “was a different way to spend a day but there’s nothing like it for people trying to reconstruct a lab protocol. It’s a thousand times better than reading the materials and methods section of a journal article.”

"I put out the challenge there (and now repeat it here) to young data-visualization wizards to find ways to envision, literally, that vague but vital concept called public health. There are signs of progress in this area. When the New England Journal of Medicine uses an animated data set to convey shifting patterns of obesity in a community, you know something’s afoot. Now there’s a peer-reviewed publication, the Journal of Visualized Experiments, devoted to conveying findings and methods using video."

Open Access from the Perspective of an Academic JournalPublished: 10/03/2011

"I really like the concept behind JOVE - high quality videos of experimental protocols. Publications in JOVE were initially freely available to all (see my 2008 post about JOVE here). Alas, a few years ago, things changed with the introduction of a subscription model. This saddened many out there, myself included, since JOVE was a wonderful addition to the collection of freely available scientific resources. I wish they had been able to avoid this, but it seems that they could not. Katherine Scott from JOVE explains their side of the story below:"

Good news for scientist in developing countries!Published: 09/29/2011
Type: Press
Language:
"Visualizing the experiments rather than trying to reproduce them from the often brief materials & methods section of papers is the best way to be able to reproduce previous experiments and set-up new techniques in a lab. This becomes particularly important in developing countries, where learning cutting-edge experimental techniques, whether via courses or by visiting laboratories with the desired expertise, is often very difficult."

Show and Tell— Sharing Science by VideoPublished: 09/29/2011

Language:
"The Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) makes hands-on science available by video. Real scientists demonstrate their experiments on line to accompany their publications. A picture being worth a thousand words, and a video being worth at least a thousand pictures, this novel channel gives fellow researchers (and budding scientists!) around the world clearer access to experimental procedures. Now JoVE is offering free access to developing-country researchers."

"Video tutorials save not only time and effort from mentors, but also money and even travel, as Moshe Pritsker realized. As a PhD student working on stem cells at Princeton University in New Jersey, Pritsker was asked to recreate a method of culturing embryonic stem cells that had been reported by researchers in Edinburgh, UK. “I tried to follow the steps in an article,” he says. But try as he might, the experiment wouldn't work."

"This isn't of any direct relevance or interest to me, but I had a very nice email from the publishers and so I thought it was worth passing on the details of it to those librarians with an interest in the subject matter. They're very keen to talk to librarians, and that's always something to be encouraged!"

"The solution to this problem was to capture this 'show-me' effect in a scientific publication, not as text but as a video showing how to do the experiment stage by stage"

With JOVE’s unique concept, scientific articles are now composed of 2 components – video and text. “Video-articles enable more efficient knowledge transfer than traditional text articles, allowing much faster learning for scientists in academia and industry,” says Pritsker.
