Video Abstracts

A video abstract is a short, engaging video that summarizes your research article and is published along with it. These videos are freely available on Wiley Online Library (WOL) and perfect for sharing on websites and social media. Video abstracts can improve the accessibility of your research, providing a richer experience for readers.

When you publish in our journals in our journals, you have the option to create a video abstract for your article, or use a vendor to create one.

Video abstracts that meet our guidelines will be uploaded to Brightcove and the article page on Wiley Online Library.
