Publish in A Collection

You can now showcase your research with JoVE as part of a Topical Collection. Increase the impact of your work by publishing it as part of a collection of peer-reviewed video articles demonstrating the methods actively used by your research community.

  • To contribute to a Topical Collection, we invite you to submit an abstract. Guest Editors will review all submitted abstracts based on the scope of the collection and, if accepted, you will be invited to submit a manuscript. Abstract submission is not mandatory, but allows you to determine if your work fits the scope of the Topical Collection.
  • To submit a manuscript to a Topical Collection, follow the standard process for a JoVE manuscript submission. In the submission questionnaire, enter the title of the collection you would like your article to be a part of.
  • Submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by Guest Editors of the collection, who decide if the manuscript fits the scope of the collection. Manuscripts accepted post peer-review, that do not fit the scope of the Topical Collection, will be published in JoVE as regular video-articles.

If you have any questions about publishing in a Topical Collection, email submissions@jove.com.
