2- Video Types:

ResearchVideos will consider the following types of video submissions:

• Video Clips: Less than or equal to 10 minutes video based on a paper previously published by the author in a conference or peer-reviewed journal. Authors are required to be mindful of copyright regulations when incorporating data from their existing publication.

Generally, papers published under a CC-BY license are suitable for sharing in this format. For more details about this video type refer to the following section in this guideline.

• Research Video: Less than or equal to 15 minutes video that presents the findings of a new study. It typically follows a structured format, including segments such as an introduction, brief literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion.

Whether highlighting recent advancements, conference announcements, industry trends, or key broadcasts, these videos serve as dynamic updates to keep the audience alongside current events.

3- Research Video Describing a Published Open-Access Article:

As an Author at researchvideos.net, if you are preparing a research video that will describe your already-published open-access article, then you can follow these guidelines:

• Prepare the figures from your published article that you want to explain in the video.

• Prepare additional material that you want to explain (like 2D videos or 2D-3D animations, i.e., numerical modeling or simulation results animations).

• Record your voice to generate an audio for your scientific contents listed above. • Assemble your figures, videos or animations to your recorded audio files by using any video editing software tools available.



4- Video Format and Maximum File Size:

Authors are advised to save/submit their research video under the .mp4 file extension.
Note that many open-source software can be used to convert your video from multiple file formats to mp4 file format, such as openshot:

⬛ 2D Videos: All 2D videos must have a resolution that is lower than or equal to (1024 x 600) pixels. 2D Videos generated at 60 FPS (Frames Per Second) are recommended.

⬛ 360° and VR Videos:

• 360° or Monoscopic Videos: The most common type, 360° monoscopic video, consists of an image as an equirectangular projection (as a world map spherical in shape) that is viewed as a flat image.
Monoscopy typically has an aspect ratio of 2:1, and common monoscopic video resolutions: (840 x 1920), (4096 x 2048), (5760 x 2880), or (7680 x 3840) pixels.
360° Videos generated at 60 FPS (Frames Per Second) are recommended.

VR (Virtual Reality) or Stereoscopic Videos: This type of VR video uses two images for the eyes (one image per eye) that are projected SBS (Side/By/Side 3D) or (Top/Bottom 3D) with different wide-view angles, with slightly different perspectives, to create a 3D effect when used with VR headsets or VR eyeglasses and other viewing hardware. Stereoscopic immersive video can has an aspect ratio of 1:1, with these common stereoscopic resolutions: (3840 x 3840), (5120 x 5120) or (7680 x 7680) pixels.

Kindly note that Anaglyph 3D, commonly seen in Red/Cyan, is an old school fashion to watch 3D content, and thus they will not be accepted for online upload to ResearchVideos.net

The following mp4 file sizes are required upon uploading a new video to ResearchVideos.net:

• 2D Research Video: Maximum Size Allowed = 500 MB
• 360° or VR Research Video: Maximum Size Allowed = 5 GB

Note: Authors may adjust the resolution, frequency, or the total time period of their mp4 video.

5- Data Sharing:

For additional data sharing as supplementary material to an uploaded video, ResearchVideos encourage the use of specialized repositories within specific domains whenever possible. When submitting a video, the authors will be able to share a link to their additional supplementary material data sharing repository. In cases where authors are unable to locate a repository tailored to their discipline or the type of data they are generating, a generalist repository becomes a valuable alternative for data sharing. The following list of repositories accept data sharing without constraints related to type, format, content, or disciplinary focus. It is important to note that ResearchVideos does not endorse generalist repositories. The list proposed below is not exhaustive but serves as a guide to assist authors in identifying potential generalist repositories for general use:
