Encyclopedia Academic Video Service now offers specialized video production services designed for scholars, allowing them to present their research and insights in a dynamic and impactful manner. Research indicates that a well-crafted video abstract can boost an academic paper's views by 120%, citations by 20%, ranking by 33%, and Altmetrics score by 80%. Additionally, all videos on Encyclopedia will be linked to the original paper's DOI, further increasing your research's visibility.
Video Abstract
Video Abstract is a short video that summarizes the key points of a research paper, typically within 5 minutes. A video abstract highlights the most critical information, making it easier for viewers to grasp the essence of the research quickly.
Short Take
A short take uses original animations to vividly showcase a key aspect of the article, such as explaining principles or detailing experimental processes, within a 1 minute timeframe. Short Takes are an effective way to communicate important information efficiently in today's fast-paced digital environment.

Space exploration represents the ultimate frontier of human curiosity, where each mission uncovers new mysteries and pushes the boundaries of what we thought was possible.
1. What's It Like to Live in Space?
Imagine waking up to Earth's sunrise from orbit or floating effortlessly in zero gravity. Life Beyond Earth takes you inside the daily life of astronauts—where every moment is an adventure.
2. Life Without Gravity
In space, the simplest tasks become challenges. Discover:
How astronauts sleep while floating
What space food actually tastes like
The effects of zero gravity on the body
How they exercise to stay strong
Source: Life in Space Station
3. Pushing the Limits of Exploration
Astronauts do more than survive—they innovate. From growing plants in space to testing new tech for Mars, they're shaping the future of exploration.
For more details about astronauts in space, you can view the online entry Space Exploration, or the video entitled "Stuck in Space for 9 Months? NASA Astronauts Finally Return".

The woolly mammoth, one of the most iconic creatures of the Ice Age, once roamed the vast, frozen landscapes of Europe, North America, and Siberia. These colossal herbivores, covered in thick fur and equipped with long, curved tusks, thrived in icy climates for thousands of years. However, around 4,000 years ago, due to a combination of climate change and human hunting, they vanished from the Earth—leaving behind only their remains frozen in permafrost.

Colossal has been working on this since 2021. Researchers retrieved and sequenced ancient mammoth DNA from preserved skin, bone and hair to learn which genes controlled traits such as coat color and cold tolerance. Then, using tools like CRISPR, they edited those genes into mouse embryos. The result? Mice with a little bit of mammoth magic!
While de-extinction remains a controversial topic, the prospect of witnessing a woolly mammoth walk the Earth again is both thrilling and thought-provoking. Could science rewrite history and resurrect these Ice Age giants? Only time will tell.

Encyclopedia Video provides potential readers with a tool to quickly understand what the work is about. That is important for casualreaders, whose time is thus spared, and for investedreaders, for whom it makes the decision to say "yes, I want to read the paper" much simpler.

For the video abstracts, the papers and authors could gain more visibility and increase citations. Also, it means a more diverse and interesting way of communicating research, which is something valuable in itself.
