SciVee
SciVee 〔http://www.scivee.tv scivee.tv〕 is a science video sharing website where researchers can upload, view and share science video clips and connect them to scientific literature, posters and slides. The SciVee website is partnered with three groups: The Public Library of Science (PLoS), a publisher of a series of open access (OA) journals who have added content to the website, the National Science Foundation (NSF), who provided seed funding to start the website, and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), who houses SciVee's video servers and data for the website. The University of California, San Diego-based service uses Adobe Flash technology to display video combined with documents and imagery via SciVee's patent pending rich internet applications (RIA) or "virtual studio" WYSIWYG to combine, or “synchronize” them with a published scientific article from a scientific journal or poster from a scientific conference poster session. Any video synchronized with a published scientific article is called a “pubcast,” while a video that is synchronized with a scientific conference session poster is called a “postercast.” Science videos that are not synchronized with a scientific article or poster can be uploaded and linked with supplementary files.
Research scientists are the primary audience for the website, but students of all levels, educators and the general public also use the site. Video content ranges from dense and highly technical explanations of scientific publications to elementary school level science. Unregistered users can watch the videos and use the provided embed code to vlog to videos into external websites, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos, synchronize scientific documents, add commentary to the site, create public profiles, and join or create communities. Registration is free and provides access to a full social networking service that allows registered members to interact with other members through private messaging, blogging, and open community discussions.
==History==
With seed funding from NSF, two professors from the University of California, Phil Bourne and Leo Chalupa, founded the website. In early 2007, Phil and Leo put together a small team of people to create the Web 2.0 website allowing participation membership to a social science network with video and article upload. SciVee was named by combining the words "science" and "video". After initial development, the website began accepting its first video uploads August 1, 2007. Nineteen days after going online in a pre-alpha test state, Slashdot dubbed SciVee the “YouTube for Science.”〔Malda, Rob (August 2007) YouTube for Science?, Available at http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/19/1328253〕 The official alpha site launch took place September 1, 2007. Based on the feedback received from the initial boom of new members from being Slashdotted, the SciVee team made updates to the website to accommodate customer demands and launched its beta release December 3, 2007. That day, CNN〔CNN (December 2007) Scientists make videos for the Web. Available at: http://edition.cnn.com/2007/TECH/12/03/science.youtube.ap/〕 and USA Today featured articles about a video created by four UC San Diego science and film students showing "a typical recrystallization experiment straight out of Chemistry 101."〔USA Today (December 2007) Niche sites spread science on the Web. Available at:http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2007-12-03-science-nice-sites_N.htm〕 Since then, SciVee has added more features to the site including discussions, blogging, extended profiles and other community options. On August 26, 2008, SciVee launched a new postercast capability.〔Zverina, Jan. (August 26, 2008) "UC San Diego News Release: ‘SciVee’ Science Site Launches the Research Community’s First ‘Postercast’ Capability." Available at: http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/supercomputer/08-08SciVee.asp〕 The same day, Paul Glazowski at Mashable referred to the release as "a new option for users to upload feature material in the form of “postercasts” that enable users to complement their traditional video presentations with an interactive documentation component. The synchronous delivery of these is remarkably user-friendly."〔Glazowski, Paul. (August 26, 2008) "SciVee’s Science Videos Get More Interactive With Virtual Posters." Available at: http://mashable.com/2008/08/28/scivee-postercasts/〕
