The Journal of Visualized Experiments (styled JoVE) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes experimental methods in video format.{{cite magazine |last=Madrigal |first=Alex |title=Video Sites Help Scientists Show Instead of Tell |magazine=Wired |date=October 3, 2007 |url=https://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2007/10/jove |accessdate=2010-12-02}} The journal is based in Cambridge, MA and was established in December 2006. Moshe Pritsker is the CEO and co-founder.{{cite web |title=The Team |work=Journal of Visualized Experiments |publisher=MyJove Corp. |date=December 2010 |url=http://www.jove.com/index/Team.stp |accessdate=2010-12-02}}

Format and scope
JoVE covers research methods and experimental techniques from both the physical and life sciences. The journal currently has 13 sections: Biology, Developmental Biology, Neuroscience, Immunology and Infection, Medicine, Bioengineering, Engineering, Chemistry, Behavior, Environment, Biochemistry, Cancer Research, and Genetics. JoVE also publishes Science Education collections aimed at instructing scientists in fundamental concepts and methods{{cite web |url=https://www.jove.com/blog/2013/05/01/introducing-jove-science-education/ |title=Introducing JoVE Science Education! |last=Moawad |first=Neal |date=2013-05-01 |website=jove.com |access-date=2018-05-21 |quote=JoVE's new Science Education Collection will launch with two collections aimed at coaching scientists on basic techniques}} in a range of fields including biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and practical subjects like laboratory safety, cell culturing, and care of Drosophila flies.
Function in replication
Some experiments can be difficult to replicate if they involve techniques that are unfamiliar or unusually sensitive, and a short written description of the original scientific methods might not be sufficient. JoVE videos are a step-by-step visual guide of the actual experiment so that the minute hand movements and other subtle manipulations necessary to perform the experiment successfully can be seen.{{cite magazine|author1=Jamie Holmes|title=How Methods Videos Are Making Science Smarter|url=http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/how-methods-videos-are-making-science-smarter|accessdate=August 29, 2015|magazine=The New Yorker|date=August 28, 2015|quote=Video makes replication more efficient}}
Publication costs
JoVE originally started as a full open access publication, but switched to a subscription model in 2009.{{Cite web|last=By|date=2009-04-06|title=JoVE Leaves Open Access Behind|url=https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2009/04/06/jove/|access-date=2021-02-26|website=The Scholarly Kitchen|language=en-US}} As of 2025, the cost of video production by JoVE to accompany a published text article is $2,400,{{Cite web|title=Publication Fees|url=https://www.jove.com/authors/editorial-policies#step-9|access-date=2025-04-22|website=www.jove.com|publisher=JoVE}} (authors can instead opt to produce their own videos, but the fee remains the same). The journal has a hybrid open access option, which is an additional $1800, but does not include the professionally produced video in the open access content.
