Abstract

This study aspires to identify the characteristics and properties of the Journal of Visualized Experiments considering it as one of many forms of visual-scientific communication that supports scientific research and learning.
JoVE is considered one of the very first scientific visual journals published in the world in 2006.
The study plans to answer the following inquiries: What are the prime properties of the Journal of Visualized Experiment (JoVE)? What are the regulations for publishing and assessing that JoVE follows? Which marketing techniques does JoVE abide by for promoting its scientific content?
The results were as follows: In cooperation with one of the biggest research organizations, JoVE publishes more than 1000 visualized articles a year, which accordingly gives a great chance for a bigger number of academic researchers. In addition to that, the journal has been indexed by many databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, SciFinder, PubMed, and Medline. The journal truly opens vast horizons for many new research team members as well as trainee researchers to document their research methods through visualized articles. As a consequence, it helps a great deal to convey the efficient methods of different knowledge and experiments.
The study recommends all concerned parties in Egypt especially the Scientific Research Academy and Scientific Research Ministry to begin to prepare for an Egyptian scientific visualized journal using the same course JoVE has endorsed. Having that would help many researchers to use various new techniques which sequentially will facilitate regenerating scientific experiments saving much more time and effort.
