Why Science Communication Matters for Academics

Science communication isn’t optional anymore. It’s now a scored metric in many funding and review frameworks — sometimes accounting for up to 25% of decisions.

If your funding is under threat — or your field is being misrepresented on social media — it’s time to reassess how your research connects with the world.

Questions Researchers Often Ask

How much of my time will it take?

Very little. Typically under 2 hours across the whole project. We handle the heavy lifting so you can stay focused on your research.

How long does the process take?

Most projects take 4–6 weeks from script to final animation, depending on complexity.

Will my research be represented accurately?

Absolutely. Every animation starts with a PhD-level script, reviewed by you. You’ll have two structured rounds of feedback before production begins.

Who owns the final animation?

You do. Once complete, the video file is yours to use freely — in presentations, on your website, on social media, or with funders and collaborators.

Do animations include accessibility features?

Yes. All SciTube videos include captions and alt-text to support accessibility. We publish through YouTube because it provides accurate, computer-readable subtitles by default, which are fully compatible with screen readers and meet university accessibility requirements. We can also provide additional language narrations if required.

Is SciTube legitimate?

Yes. SciTube is a UK-registered company, founded in 2015. We’ve helped hundreds of researchers, universities, and publishers worldwide create science animations that reach beyond academia.

I received an email from SciTube — is it spam?

No. We sometimes introduce our services directly by email. These are genuine invitations to explore how we can help. You can verify by reading our client testimonials.
