Springer Nature is launching a new collection of educational, standalone videos on its online content platform SpringerLink. Available from July, the videos cover a range of content from demonstrations of surgical techniques to tailored lecture series and interviews with researchers. Content for the videos is created by academics and practitioners, many of whom have previously published in Springer Nature’s journal and book portfolios. All videos are reviewed both internally and externally by subject experts to ensure accuracy and quality.
Springer Nature Video includes links to supporting references in CrossRef and Google Scholar, as well as to related book and journal content on SpringerLink. Rich metadata and full transcripts on the video and the clip-level are also provided, and the videos meet international web accessibility criteria. Springer Nature Video will be available via subscriptions to collections curated by discipline. Each collection is currently made up of 40 videos which will expand to around 100 videos per collection by the end of this year. Medicine, and Professional and Applied Computing will be the first collections to be launched, available from July 2019. Further video collections in the fields of Business and Management, and Engineering are expected to follow in 2020.
