Research Square, a provider of solutions to facilitate the communication of research worldwide, has announced a new partnership with MyScienceWork to make its Video Summaries solution available to research institutions. Through this partnership, universities and other institutions will be able to purchase Video Summaries to highlight the research on their MyScienceWork Polaris platform. Polaris is a digital platform that helps institutions promote their full collection of scholarship, connect with outside researchers, and monitor the influence and impact of their research.
Each Video Summary consists of a 3-4 minute animated video with voiceover that summarises the context for a particular research project, its key findings, and its implications for future studies. Once created, Video Summaries are freely accessible on YouTube (youtube.com/researchsquare) and provided to the study's authors for sharing on their own websites, in talks, and more.
Research Square developed the Video Summaries in collaboration with Nature Publishing Group (NPG), and an early trial involving summaries for several NPG journals brought encouraging results that indicate the potential for video content to boost views and sharing of published research papers.
