Dear All,
I would like to share that I have been given the opportunity to serve as Guest Editor for a new JoVE Methods Collection titled: **Integrated Nanomaterial Platforms for Biomedicine: Synthesis, Natural Nanoparticle Isolation, Engineering, and Applications.**
JoVE is renowned for its video-based visualization of experimental methods, making it an invaluable resource for teaching and training. This was a key reason I agreed to serve as Guest Editor. Throughout my graduate studies and even now, I have learned new techniques, particularly involving animal procedures, through JoVE videos when starting new experiments.
Moreover, I confirmed with UniOgs that this type of methods/video manuscript counts towards PhD graduation requirements, provided it is limited to one such publication per student. This presents a valuable opportunity for PhD students as well.
If you have a unique or well-established protocol that would benefit from visual representation, this format will be helpful for teaching. It is particularly useful for undergraduates, new PhD students, and newcomers to the field, and it also promotes reproducible lab practices.
If you are interested, please start by submitting a short abstract (100–150 words) here: [Submit Abstract](https://app.jove.com/methods-collections/4515/integrated-nanomaterial-platfo...) under the collection title. If you or one of your students are interested, please let me know.
The full paper would be due after invitation and discussion of the video plan, tentatively by April 6, 2026 (or another agreed date).
For reference, here is an example of a previous JoVE video from our lab bY Susanna Kaisto, et al: [Optimization of Renal Organoid Organotypic Culture for Vascularization](https://app.jove.com/v/60995/optimization-renal-organoid-organotypic-culture...).
To be transparent about costs, JoVE charges a flat publication fee that includes professional video production. For Methods or Research Articles, the fee is USD 2,400 (standard access) or USD 4,200 (open access); for Reviews, it is USD 1,200 (standard) or USD 2,100 (open). The video can be reused freely for teaching, talks, and outreach, which many groups find highly valuable.
I am happy to discuss further if you have ideas you would like to explore.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Feby
Hei
Nice that you have this job - it is good to also discuss the finances. Video making is quite time consuming and also the publication costs are quite high. SO investment to original publications are I would say a priority. The methods are based then on the original scientific output for process related publication.
