Research Square, a provider of innovative solutions for improving scholarly communication, has announced the launch of a new multimedia product, Video Bytes. These brief, informative videos summarise a piece of published research for a lay audience in a 1-minute overview. Each Video Byte combines on -screen text, relevant imagery and footage, and music to create a compelling and aesthetic take on recent research and how it impacts society. Two samples can be viewed on Research Square’s website: www.researchsquare.com/videos.
Video Bytes are an offshoot of Research Square's successful Video Abstract product, first developed in a trial with Nature Publishing Group in 2015. Like Video Abstracts, Video Bytes cover any field of research and are available for purchase by authors, editors, institutions, funders, or any other interested parties. They are created by Research Square's scientifically trained animation and scriptwriting teams, with input from the authors of the research being summarised. After creation, Video Bytes are posted on social media with appropriate tags and descriptions to enhance their chances of being found.
Video Bytes are available for researchers, universities, funders, and other interested parties to purchase through Research Square’s website, https://www.researchsquare.com/videos.
