Cell Press was among the first publishers to realize the potential of video abstracts and launched a channel back in 2009 to share video abstracts exclusively and also on YouTube. Now the channel features 400+ videos and viewing figures are over 100K and rising. Scientific journals, libraries and publishers rethink their workflows, in order to include an option for submitting video abstracts, analyze new ways to store these non-textual materials and investigate the uses of alternative ways to measure impact. On the other hand, librarians must be aware of the importance of new media and multimodal scholarship [SPICER, 2014]. That is, they should provide platforms to support these new media, index them properly and promote their accessibility and further usage. The free platform STEMcognito provides a place to publish, share, discuss, and create video abstracts related to STEM research. With thousands of video abstracts on the site, there are also many examples of how to present research in this format. The open-access video journal ″Latest Thinking″ offers video abstracts that are on average 10 minutes long and feature five chapters (research question, method, findings, relevance, outlook). ″Latest Thinking″ produces the abstracts in collaboration with the researchers who also perform as speakers in the videos. The video abstracts are published on the online journal’s platform under a CC-BY 4.0 license. Where to submit List of publishers already accepting video abstracts.
