Journal of Visualized Experiments or JoVE

A video can be worth more than 1,000 words. The Journal of Visualized Experiments or JoVE hopes to be that kind of tool. Started in October 2006 and now containing more than 200 videos, JoVE is a video-publication for the biological sciences. By showing how experiments are done the founders hope that the visualization will increase reproducibility and efficiency. It includes experiments and protocols in the fields of Neuroscience, Cell and Developmental Biology, Plant Biology, Microbiology and Immunology.
