SciVee provides community web services and video resources for researchers of all levels to create and share scientific data using compelling new multimedia formats that visually expand traditional scientific communication. Using web delivery methods specifically designed to support traditional scientific publications, posters, papers and slide presentations, researchers can use SciVee to see and hear scientists describe their scientific research; join and participate in specific interest communities and discussions; and create comprehensive multimedia representations of their own research.

SciVee invites scientists to make their research known by combining their published scientific article with a corresponding video into an online presentation called a “SciVee pubcast.” The community can then freely view your presentation and engage in virtual discussions with you and other SciVee members about your research directly through commentary, community discussions and blogging features. SciVee also encourages everyone interested in science to create a free membership and join existing scientific communities or create their own new community around specific scientific interests where discussions and events can be organized, shared and documented.

As an Author of a Scientific Paper, is it Worth Making a Pubcast?

Pubcasts enable scientists who author them the possibility of increasing the breadth of their audience, readership of their paper, feedback from peers and possibly the likelihood of citation. (See: http://www.scivee.tv/worth_it to view results on an early study of increased access and its implications.)

How else do scientists benefit from pubcasts?

Pubcasts enable scientists who view them a deeper comprehension of a publications teaching points than would be possible from reading an abstract alone. Scientists can gain a quicker comprehension of more publications in substantially less time with the aid of a video presentation provided directly from the author. Once a large database of pubcasts are made available on SciVee, viewing multiple pubcasts on the same topic will enable scientists to gain access to a broader sampling of relevant research thereby possibly expanding their breadth and depth of their scientific understanding.
