JoVE is a peer-reviewed scientific methods video journal, aimed at increasing the visibility and reproducibility of research. JoVE's team takes care of the entire process of filming and producing your video. JoVE articles are indexed in PubMed, Web of Science, SciFinder, EMBASE, and Scopus.

This topical collection aims to bring together evidence, methodologies, and practical approaches that address the unique challenges of trauma management in resource-limited environments.

Would you be interested in contributing to this collection? Please let me know and we can discuss an abstract submission.

Article Types

Method Article
Centered around a detailed step-by-step protocol, the Method Article aims to document how something is done. 

Representative results are included to demonstrate that the method ‘works’, give the reader an idea of the expected outcomes, and to support any new claims the author wants to make about the utility of the method. 

Novelty is not required - authors can publish an expanded description of a technique/workflow they’ve used in previous traditional papers, and they can provide example figures/data from recent work as representative results. 

Research Article
A Research Article aims to communicate novel research findings. 
A paragraph-form protocol is included to explain how the results were obtained. JoVE is focused on reproducibility and methodological rigor, so although the protocol is not the primary focus, it is important.

Novelty is required - peer review will assess the novelty of the work, and the core story must not have been previously published. 
If the authors want a video, it will focus on highlighting the results, and the protocol will also be filmed to enable teaching/training/reproducibility. 

Case Report
A Case Report documents a single patient, their condition and course of treatment. 

Review Article
A JoVE Review Article is a short review, aimed at providing an overview of the literature in a particular field along with analysis and informed speculation on future directions.
JoVE Reviews will often discuss methodology and reproducibility

JoVE provides partial fee waivers for authors whose funding is from qualifying low- and middle-income countries.
