Scholarly Videos? A First for PubMed

Why is “the first video-journal to ever be accepted for publication in PubMed” a big deal?    The Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) is an open-access journal that publishes videos of experiments and protocols in the biological and life sciences and offers its video-articles to science bloggers to illustrate their posts.  The journal managers say that PubMed’s decision is an “official acceptance” of the scientific community of new forms of communication.

And while you’re considering this turn of events, check out the Research Guide of Video and Images where our Library highlights options for enriching your teaching or course work. Note the growing list of Lab Science Video Sites such as:

LabAction –   Focuses on sharing biological techniques.
DnaTube –   Encourages scientists to upload videos of their studies, lectures and seminars
SciVee
A reputable virtual place where researchers can trade techniques without the potpourri of topics found on general video-sharing sites.

For non-lab researchers, see ResearchChannel.org -  Freely available, full length lectures and presentations from a consortium of major research universities.

Dust off your video camera!
