This is a hybrid production model. After the manuscript is accepted, JoVE scripts and edits your video while you are responsible for filming. This is a good model for authors outside our videographer network.

• A JoVE scriptwriter will create a video script for filming your experiments. You will approve the script prior to filming.
• A JoVE producer will meet with you to offer advice on filming. You will film and then send your video footage to JoVE.
• Our team edits the video, adds a professional voice-over, and presents the video for your approval. You will have the opportunity to request changes to the video before it is released on our website.

A fully author-based production model. You, the author, are responsible for scripting, filming, and editing the video and submitting it to JoVE for approval. This is a good model for authors outside our videographer network.

• You create your video according to JoVE’s ASV guidelines and send the video to JoVE. Both the manuscript and the video are peer-reviewed simultaneously. JoVE’s production team also reviews the video.
• You make the necessary revisions and send the updated video to JoVE.
• After passing peer review and production review, the video is released on our website.

JoVE does allow publication of corporate sponsored articles with the inclusion of necessary disclosures. Each manuscript, regardless of sponsorship, undergoes the same rigorous review process. Disclosing of corporate sponsorships provides the reader with the information necessary to independently assess the work, but does not invalidate the author’s submission and work done by reviewers.

Under JoVE’s article and video license agreement, authors may only use their article and video for noncommercial purposes. Should the author wish to use the article or video for commercial purposes (i.e. using it for marketing a product or any other for-profit venture), the authors should contact our business development team at industry@jove.com.

JoVE does encourage its authors to use their JoVE publication for academic and educational purposes, as this fulfills our mission of increasing the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Authors can embed the video on their lab website and use the video at educational and scientific meetings. If you need help, then please contact your editor or support@jove.com.

We comply fully with the open access requirements of UKRI, Wellcome, and NIHR. Where required by their funder, authors retain the right to distribute their author-accepted manuscript (AAM), such as via an institutional and/or subject repository.

To help UK authors comply with their mandates on Open Access, JoVE provides the ‘Gold’ and ‘Green’ routes to Open Access for UK authors.

Gold route: JoVE provides immediate and unrestricted access to the final published version of the paper on JoVE’s website and it is made available using CC-BY License. Authors can immediately self-deposit the final published version of the paper in other repositories without restriction on reuse.

Green route: Authors can self-deposit the final accepted manuscript in any repository, without restriction on non-commercial reuse, immediately after publication if required by their funding mandate.

The UK Author License Agreement is available here. For further questions, please contact us at editorial-office@jove.com.

JoVE depends, in part, on the payment of publication fees to support its operations. Articles are considered for publication solely on the basis of their scientific merit and peer review.

For manuscripts submitted after February 1, 2021, the publication fee is $1,400. If authors choose the open access option for their full-text article, an additional fee of $2,500 will apply.

The fee is the same whether the video is produced by the authors or by JoVE. If the open access option is selected, the full-text article and author-submitted video will be freely available on the JoVE website, without a subscription.

The videos produced by the JoVE production services are not a part of the author’s submission and are available on the JoVE website under subscription.

   • Add any co-authors. Be sure to include all required information. If you do not include all the required information at this step, then you will not be able to complete the final submission.
   • The corresponding author(s) of the published article will be determined by the author list in the manuscript text. The author selected as „corresponding author„ here is solely for the purposes of communicating during the review. You may reorder the authors by dragging and dropping an Author’s summary line to the correct position in the Current Author List.
   • If you mark an author (besides yourself) as the corresponding author, all correspondence about the submission and review process will go to this person. If you choose this, your submission will disappear from your account and you will not be able to continue until the new corresponding author logs in to Editorial Manager and approves the submission. Alternatively, please return to the Comments section to add a note indicating the correct corresponding author or contact your JoVE editor. The JoVE Editorial Team will update the corresponding author following submission.
