I had a great experience working with SciTube! Their stepwise approach made producing the video seamless and enjoyable. The video effectively communicates complex molecular biology to a general audience, garnering attention from scientists and students alike. I’ve shared it widely and believe it’s a great tool for research dissemination. I would definitely recommend SciTube to colleagues and look forward to collaborating on future projects!

I am thrilled to have collaborated with SciTube to produce an outstanding animation that effectively conveys our research findings to a broader audience. Scientific journals, while instrumental in scientific communication among peers, often lack accessibility for those outside specialized fields. My 7th-grade daughter, who initially found my research perplexing, grasped the intricacies of my work with ease after viewing the animation SciTube created. This revelation instilled in me a profound sense of satisfaction, as I believe inspiring the next generation of scientists is a paramount responsibility. Presenting our research in concise formats through streaming platforms aligns perfectly with the modern media consumption habits of today’s youth. Science popularization, though crucial, often receives insufficient attention from scientists themselves. SciTube’s exceptional work has undoubtedly enhanced the public’s understanding of our research and nurtured a deeper appreciation for scientific endeavors. I commend their efforts and encourage their continued contribution to science communication. Watch the video

After an initial consultation with James at SciTube to find out if my research would be a good fit for animation, I was convinced of the merits of short, video synopses of full-length scientific publications. I then worked closely with SciTube’s Executive Editor Dr Nelly Berg to produce my animation. The process was smooth, efficient, and creative, with very clear communication throughout. I am very pleased with the final animation. I plan to share the video with my professional network, and will also send it to the journal that published the original paper, to help non-specialists engage with my work. Watch the video

SciTube provided me with an opportunity to communicate my research paper to coastal managers and non-professionals. I enjoyed working with the SciTube editorial team, and they were easy and efficient to communicate with. I have circulated my animation to a few key colleagues already, and added it to my email signature and ResearchGate page – I hope this will provide a quick and easy way for people to learn more about my studies.

I worked with SciTube to spread knowledge of studies with non-traditional participants. The production process went well, with great communication and input from my editor. I will use my animation as promotion material to reach the public who don't read research papers. I would recommend SciTube to my colleagues. Watch the video

As I progress in my career I’ve increasingly sought ways to extend the reach of my research and also make it more accessible to a broader (i.e. non-academic) audience. So I was thrilled when the SciTube team reached out and asked if I would be interested in having them compose a video for my research. This was a new process for me and I know that many services for academics exist with varying levels of integrity. SciTube has impressed me every step of the way. First, they composed a written narrative; second, a voice specialist provided an audio recording of the narrative; and finally, this narrative was combined with a beautifully animated video depicting my paper’s central arguments. I was invited to provide feedback at each step and my feedback was always incorporated (from slight tweaks to the original narrative to a request for an alternative voice specialist to a couple minor suggestions for the video). Beyond this, however, the customer service was outstanding: My primary contact at SciTube, Nelly, was extraordinarily responsive, professional,...

Needless to say, I am very happy with the final product and will be proud to post the video to my professional website. My gratitude to the entire SciTube team! I hope many others will make use of their services. Watch the video

The paper summarised by our SciTube video deals with a choice that consumers make, so it made sense that a video could help to clarify this choice for consumers. I will send the video to local media and to industry groups that could benefit from the transition advocated by the video. I enjoyed my experience working with the SciTube team, and in particular their willingness to listen to our concerns and work with us through as many iterations of the script as required until we were happy. I look forward to our video reaching new audiences and opening doors to venues that I would not have predicted. Watch the video

I decided to work with SciTube as I support new ways of publication, and in many ways this is better an article in a journal. An animation allows intuitive connections and can explain in a few seconds, text that will be understood by a reader only after several sentences or paragraphs. For example, a few animated seconds may need a page of writing as text. In our fast pacing world, time is a valuable resource and saving it by showing an idea quickly is very valuable. Moreover, a movie attracts people more than a large title using text. When I showed my interactive poster in MODSIM I stepped back from my booth and watched how groups of people came to my booth watching at the movie explaining my work. Even if I was not there the movie itself was a attraction that viewers could relate to and were attracted to. I enjoyed working with the SciTube team, my editor was great and helpful, and my animator was talented. As a short summary, my animation will promote my studies to a larger public audience as I have already found out. I ...
