Journal of Video Ethnography (JVE)
The Video Ethnography Lab collaborates with DePaul University to produce the Journal of Video Ethnography (JVE). The Editor in Chief is Dr. Gregory Scott.
Purpose:
The aim of this journal is to advance the social scientific use of video/film as a
method for exploring human society, systems, and cultures and as a medium for presenting
the findings of those explorations.
JVE seeks to fill a gap in scholarly publishing and establish rigorous guidelines
for evaluating and creating ethnographic film. Peer review is the fulcrum of scientific
discourse; without it, standards and production guidelines will never materialize
in an emerging field. All submissions to JVE will be peer-reviewed in a manner identical
to and as rigorous as that of print journals.
Scope:
JVE publishes ethnographic studies that feature video as a central methodological
component and the primary form of output. JVE’s editors will not consider decontextualized
“clips” or videos that require text documents to be understood.
Videos published in JVE address a social scientific research question or subject whose
study is best undertaken by the collection and exhibition of videographic data, as
opposed to studies where video/film is incidental or merely illustrative/supplemental.
