Create a JoVE Account
You don't need to create an individual JoVE account to use any of its features, but it can make things easier if you're a frequent user. Use this link to learn more about creating an individual JoVE account.

Please note: You get access to JoVE through the Northeastern University Library, so you shouldn't need to create an additional account to get access - just go to JoVE through any of the links on the library's website. The additional account is only to access previously watched articles, creating JoVE quizzes, and/or create a favorite video playlist.
