SciVee is a web site promoting the “free and widespread dissemination and comprehension of science.” To that end, it has features which allow scientists to communicate their work as a multimedia presentation integrated with the content of their published article. The uploaded videos help readers understand the content of the articles. Other scientists can view uploaded presentations and engage in virtual discussions with the author and other viewers. SciVee also facilitates the creation of communities around specific articles and keywords, and a tag cloud on the home page shows the current hot topics.
SciVee is operated in partnership with the Public Library of Science (PLoS), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC).
