Researchers Seek to Change Academic Publishing through JoVE

December 19, 2011

Seeking to improve academic publishing through the cutting-edge Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), Dr. Corey Nislow, Dr. Wallace Marshall, Dr. Marc Lecruit and Dr. Steven Vogel, join the journal's Editorial Board.

"I think journals need to change to take full advantage of the technology available," said Vogel, who works at the National Institutes of Health. "Once you throw out the idea that publishing has to be in print, it opens up a world of opportunities."

JoVE is the only peer-reviewed, PubMed and MEDLINE-indexed journal taking advantage of new information technology, publishing articles completely online in both text and video format.

As board members, the researchers will act as advocates for the future of academic publishing, sharing in JoVE's mission to accelerate the progress of biological, medical, chemical and physical research through increased transparency, which video-based publication allows.

"We are extremely excited to have these four thought leaders join our editorial board," said Editorial Director Dr. Beth Hovey. "Each researcher brings a unique perspective and a passion for advancing science within their respective fields."

Board members also suggest new content to make JoVE's video library more comprehensive and review submissions to the journal to ensure that the techniques the journal publishes meet the most rigorous academic standards.

"JoVE is at the bleeding edge and staying in that position requires constant input of energy," said Nislow, from the University of Toronto. "It's a mindset for sure, but it's also a lot of work. You need people on the ground looking at what's new."


A still from Dr. Nislow's video-article about genomics, published August 11, 2011.
