The Company:
Abstract Tube is an online platform that plans to focus on on uploading and publishing videos of academic abstracts. They believe they are the first of their kind to be a video portal dedicated only to scholarly works like this, and with academic videos increasing in popularity, the demand is there. Their 3-5 minute videos will provide the summaries, key findings, and main arguments for journal articles, conference papers, theses, and dissertations. Abstract Tube plans to collaborate with journal publishers, universities, and scientific conference events, as well as offer services like video production and script writing to encourage abstract video creation. Their goal, as stated by founder Sarbojeet Jana, PhD, is that “Abstract Tube can become the new scholarly video archive site. "

The Bottom Line:
As the academic community embraces video creation more and more for their publications, having a reliable and safe one-stop-shop for those videos will be key to academic and viewing success. Abstract Tube will be that key, providing abstracts to students and scholars alike, and revolutionizing the way we consume scholarly content and perform research.
