DESCRIPTION

The biological and medical research chronically suffers from the low reproducibility of experimental studies since the traditional text format of science journals cannot provide an adequate description of details and nuances of complex experimental procedures. This creates a critical “bottleneck” problem of knowledge transfer for research and education. Addressing this challenge, a new generation of science journals employs video online to provide a systematic visualized publication of experimental studies. Visualization through video greatly facilitates the understanding and learning of experimental procedures enhancing knowledge transfer and productivity in research and education. The video-based publication in the rigorous academic format requires a new set of concepts and technical approaches to production, publication and dissemination processes. As the publisher of Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), the first video journal for biological sciences indexed in MEDLINE and PubMed, I would like to provide an overview of the growing field of video publication and discuss its technical challenges, implications for scholarly communication and acceptance in the academic and library community. Presenters: Moshe Pritsker, JoVE

One day in the lab at Princeton...

ES cells were maintained in serum-free culture without feeder cells. ES cells were

plated onto gelatin-coated plates in N2B medium and were passaged every 2–4

days. Dissociated cells were harvested in N2B medium, pelleted, resuspended in

N2B and replated directly.

How far a graduate student will go

to reproduce one experiment?

From NJ to Scotland….

Cost: 2 months of work, travel, reagents…. ~ $10,000 to reproduce one experiment

Page 5: Scholarly video journals to increase productivity in research and education

More than 60% (!!!!) of published studies

are not reproducible

2011, Bayer’s project, testing 67 studies published in reputable science journals

Page 6: Scholarly video journals to increase productivity in research and education

Low reproducibility – what is the reason?

- Cheating?

- Bad writing?

- Difficult to understand what is written?

?

Scientific article – all same from 1665

1665: Philosophical Transactions of

the Royal Society

2012: what’s new?

- Color figures

- Online browsing and search

Basic structure is the same

Page 8: Scholarly video journals to increase productivity in research and education

Traditional Scientific Article

Position the metaphase spindle at 3 o’clock and hold

it with holding pipette. Apply piezo pulses to penetrate

the zona pellucida. Touch the metaphase plate with

the enucleation pipette. Aspirate the spindle and

withdraw the pipette.

What does it say???

How can it be used for research or teaching???

New approach: publish science using

video online

Text doesn’t work?

Show it in video!

Create new type of science journal:

video journal

Page 11: Scholarly video journals to increase productivity in research and education

New Scientific Article = Video + Text

Page 12: Scholarly video journals to increase productivity in research and education

Structure of scientific video-article

1. Abstract 2. Introduction

3. Experimental procedure 4. Discussion of results

Page 13: Scholarly video journals to increase productivity in research and education

Why scientist publish in video journal

- Publication – JoVE is a peer reviewed scientific journal

- Prestigous Editorial Board; indexed in PubMed and Medline

- Video articles are from top universities (Harvard, MIT, Yale, NIH, ...)

- Easy to create - JoVE films videos in authors‘ labs

What users say

Dr. Maria Toledo-Rodriguez, University of Nottingham

By having the video protocol ... anybody can quickly learn the

technique whenever it is convenient for her/him saving them lots of

time, money and frustrations.

Dr. Rich Condit, University of Florida

You can't figure out how to do this stuff just from reading the literature,

you have to have somebody show you ... this is amazing!

Lalitha Chandrasekher, PhD student, Georgetown University

Thank you for creating and developing such an astounding resource for

scientists! This is truly going to rapidly advance progress in all fields of

research and the potential applications are endless.
