Collections

SciViD groups video preprints into subject collections. Each collection page describes its scope and lists the latest posted items. Posted items are preliminary and have not been peer reviewed.

• Cosmology & Astrophysics: the origin, structure and evolution of the universe.

• Micro- and Nanotechnology: nanoscale materials, devices and fabrication methods.

• Quantum Biotechnology: quantum sensing, quantum-enhanced imaging and bio-nanotechnology.

• Microfluidics & Lab-on-a-Chip: lab-on-a-chip systems, droplet technologies and flow-based devices.

• Food & Culinary Science: nutrition, culinary chemistry and physics, and food innovation.

• Brain and Creativity: neuroscience, cognition, learning and creative problem-solving.

• Research & Inventive Methods: experimental techniques, protocols, workflows and inventive problem-solving methods such as TRIZ.

High school, undergraduate and graduate students can post through Emerging Scholars. To submit, see Submit a Manuscript.

Guest-curated collections. SciViD may invite researchers to curate a themed collection: they propose the theme and invite authors. Curated collections are groupings of video preprints, not journal special issues, and their items are not peer reviewed.

• Editorial decisions. Every item in a curated collection goes through standard editorial screening by a SciViD editor; the curator does not decide on posting.

• Conflicts of interest. Items by the curator, members of the curator’s group or the curator’s students are handled by another editor.

• Curators. Curators are invited by SciViD and hold a verifiable academic position and publication record. Unsolicited offers to curate are not accepted.

• Number. SciViD opens a small number of curated collections each year, in areas where it can ensure competent screening.

• No payments. Curators are not paid for curating, and no fee is charged for inclusion in a collection.
