Libertas Academica is proud to announce a new service available to authors that enables you to include a videos abstract in your next article.

Video abstracts are an innovative service with significant benefits to authors and readers.

Using video abstracts benefits authors because you can now connect with your audience in an exciting new way, and discuss aspects of your research not included in your paper. Video abstracts help to distinguish your article and make it more accessible to a wider audience. The videos will be widely available to your readers and colleagues and can be viewed online through the websites that Libertas indexes the journal with. Libertas will also announce your video abstract on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr and RSS to ensure that it is as widely viewed as possible.

Video abstracts benefit the reader because you can gain insights about authors, institutions, and articles that is not usually included in the text. It also allows you to see and hear what authors have to say in an interesting and novel way.

Libertas recently surveyed readers on what they would want to see in video abstracts and found that:

• 88% favoured the video containing the findings in the article and their broader importance

• 80% favoured the video containing discussion of the aims of the author’s research

• 77% favoured the video containing highlights of the article
