The Journal of Visualized Experiments (styled JoVE) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes experimental methods in video format.[1] It 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] The journal is based in Cambridge, MA. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has 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 10 sections: Biology, Developmental Biology, Neuroscience, Immunology and Infection, Medicine, Bioengineering, Engineering, Chemistry, Behavior, Environment, and Science Education.
Function in replication
It is difficult to replicate many experiments with just a written description of what the original researcher did. Videos in the Journal of Visualized Experiments make it easier for a second researcher to follow the same procedures as the original researcher.[7]
