Video Highlight

• Instant Engagement : A well-crafted video captures attention beyond traditional text, expanding reach to practitioners, media, and public audiences.
• Accessible Communication : Video formats translate complex findings into clear visual narratives that are understandable across disciplines.
• Enhanced Impact : Visual summaries encourage broader sharing, increased visibility, and improved uptake into policy, practice, or interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Global Reach : With a community spanning 130+ countries, video highlights help overcome language and regional barriers to showcase research internationally.

• Featured Video Highlights : Selected articles are paired with short videos, typically 2 to 4 minutes, summarising research objectives, results, and implications in a visually engaging format.
• How-to Guide for Authors : Step-by-step resources covering scripting, filming, editing, captioning, and strategies to maximise reach.
• Video Archive : A browsable collection of video highlights filterable by discipline, including science, technology, medicine, engineering, and social sciences.
• Submission & Support : Guidance on producing a video highlight with editorial or production assistance, or requesting creation of a video for your published paper.

Here are our recommended best practices, drawn from research-communication guidance:

• Keep It Short and Focused : Aim for approximately 2 to 4 minutes, as concise formats retain attention more effectively.
• Make It Clear and Engaging : Begin with the research problem, use plain language and visuals such as charts or animations, and follow a logical structure of what was done, what was found, and why it matters.
• Prioritize Accessibility : Include subtitles or captions, clear voice-over, and strong audio-visual quality to support global and non-specialist audiences.
• Include a Call to Action : Conclude by encouraging viewers to read the full article, share the research, or apply its findings, with a link to the published paper.
• Optimize for Sharing : Use a compelling title, provide embed options and shareable links, and consider shorter teaser versions for social media or institutional outreach.

• We align with established ethical frameworks through our affiliation with the Open Association of Research Societies and adherence to Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines, while recognising that research value depends on effective communication and uptake.
• By offering video highlights alongside traditional publication, we strengthen accessibility, visibility, and global engagement with your work.
• Video dissemination enables research from one region to inform and inspire professionals, practitioners, and policymakers across different continents and fields.

• After your article has been accepted or published, review the “Video Highlight Author Guide” and determine whether you will create the video yourself or request production support.
• Submit a short script or outline that includes:
  • The research question or problem.
  • Methodology in plain language.
  • Key findings.
  • Implications and who benefits.
  • A call to action (e.g., read full article, implement research).
• Film and edit the video, or collaborate with our production team, ensuring high-quality audio and visuals, subtitles, and embedding capability.
• Provide the final video file (MP4 preferred), transcript or captions, and metadata including title, authors, and article link.
• We will embed the video on our site, promote it across global channels, and link it to the original article and impact summary.

• Research is not limited to scholars; it serves a broader global community. Through the Video Highlight page, your work can connect with diverse audiences, inspire informed action, and contribute to meaningful change worldwide.Visual storytelling strengthens the communication of complex ideas. At Global Journals®, we provide the guidance and support needed to help you effectively present and amplify your research through this medium.
