Video Journal for Biological Research: One Picture is Worth Thousands Words or No More Suffering
Organized by Communications

"Video Journal for Biological Research: One Picture is Worth Thousands Words or No More Suffering"
by Moshe Pritsker, Ph.D. (CEO, JoVE)



Biological science chronically suffers from the low reproducibility of experiments, as they are typically described in the Materials and Methods sections of scientific articles. The traditional text format of scientific journals cannot adequately describe complex experimental procedures, creating a critical bottleneck problem for biological research and drug discovery. Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) addresses this problem using a novel video-based approach to scientific publishing. Visualization through video greatly facilitates the understanding of experimental procedures, reduces the time necessary to implement new techniques, and increases the overall efficiency of biological research.
