Journal of Visualized Experiments

The Journal of Visualized Experiments ( JoVE ) is an electronic scientific journal, the experiments mainly from the fields of medicine, neuroscience, developmental biology, cell biology, botany, microbiology and immunology records and published by video. In addition to video, the magazine published a descriptive text. The aim is to improve the reproducibility and the transparency of experiments. The magazine has existed since the end of 2006, has a peer review, and is listed in the PubMed database. The Journal of Visualized Experiments collaborates with professional video agencies that can record the experiments.

According to the magazine editor the difficult reproducibility and the lengthy learning new experimental techniques are now one of the biggest problems of academic life in the biomedical disciplines. As the complexity of research in biomedicine has increased exponentially over the last year, the previous publication process is by writing and images no longer sufficient to pass complex research procedures and techniques can.

While the contributions of the magazine were available free to start (Open Access), a subscription is required since April 2009.
