Video abstract
This is a short video overview of a scientific article, a 3-5 minute trailer. Video abstract creators can choose from a wide range of options to visualise their stories, from simple drawings on a blackboard to screen recordings, videos, slideshows and talking heads.
Its purpose is to quickly identify the purpose and results of a given study.
Video abstract can be used to describe dynamic phenomena that are too complex, unusual to be described by text and pictures in an article.
Like the graphic abstract, it is not intended to replace the original scientific article, but rather to draw attention to it and broaden the audience.
