Biology

This guide provides a set of resources, available through the CCNY's Library for beginning research in biology. This list is not exhaustive or comprehensive. Visit our home page for additional resources.

JoVE VIDEO Journal

JoVE Video Journal it is the first scientific video journal dedicated to advancing science by increasing reproducibility and efficient knowledge transfer. Articles combine high-quality video demonstrations of experiments with a detailed text protocol. All content is peer-reviewed and indexed in Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and SciFinder and other relevant databases. JoVE remains the first and only peer-reviewed scientific video journal, publishing more than 100 new videos each month.

Regarding our License for JoVE:

CCNY subscription has been upgraded to JoVE Unlimited Access. Faculty, staff and students can now use all available resources on the JoVE website for the academic year 2025-2026.

  • Videos covering research methods, lab manuals, clinical skills, and similar topics in STEM fields.
  • Over 12,000 videos in disciplines such as biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine, physics, and psychology.
  • Brief video demonstrations of labs and experiments to teach core scientific concepts. 
  • JoVE videos that can be viewed on their site or embedded into learning management systems
