Never. At Sci60, what you see is what you get. We are committed to the principles of transparency and clear communication.

At Sci60, we believe in empowering our clients. Once your Sci60 summary is completed, you will be sent a copy in MP4 format which means that you are free to share it as you wish. You will not only have ownership but also full executive control over it. We understand the importance of maintaining control over your intellectual property, which is why we ensure that you retain all rights to your video summary.

Absolutely. We prioritise keeping your work safe and confidential until you’re ready for it to reach a wider audience. Any papers you provide to us remain offline and protected, and rest assured, we do not employ AI for summarisation, eliminating any chance of accidentally leaking your research.

The script will be developed based on the papers you provide and the key questions you answer. Initially crafted by a subject-matter expert, it will then be polished by our experienced editorial team to ensure maximum clarity and impact. We collaborate with experts across all fields of science and research, ensuring that we have the right person to effectively summarise your work.

Not at all. The Sci60 process is designed to work around your busy schedule. All communication can be conducted via email, but we are always happy to jump on a call and talk things through.

Absolutely – and we’d heartily recommend it! We’ve found that posting about your work helps increase your Altmetric score, adding to the conversation about big ideas in bite size chunks. We’d be very happy to help cross-promote with our own channels, with every little bit helping to spread the word.

After your social media promotion concludes, your video will stay on our channels indefinitely, gathering additional organic views. Additionally, we provide a dedicated page on our website where your Sci60 summary(ies) will be hosted.

Our promotions enhance the visibility of your video summary through onsite SEO, as well as campaigns on Facebook, YouTube and X. We guarantee a minimum of 25,000 impressions during your social media campaign.

With our promotions, we can help you target specific demographics, including age, gender, country, and more. Alternatively, we can focus on getting your work in front of the largest audience possible.

Once we’ve completed the promotion of your video summary across the Sci60 channels, you’ll receive an impact report summarising the performance of your video, including key demographic insights.

Your video will be uploaded to our Sci60 social channels, which include Facebook, YouTube, and X, with LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok coming soon. This ensures maximum exposure to a wide range of interested viewers. Additionally, it will be hosted on a dedicated page right here on our Sci60 website.

We’d love to use your images in our outputs. However, for the sake of expediency, checking copyright, and ensuring everything meets the correct resolution and quality standards to produce the best-quality video summary, we don’t offer bespoke imagery. Although we might consider it in the future!

While we know we’re able to keep true to the principles of your research and capture your audience’s interest in 60 seconds, you might want a longer, more in-depth piece of communication material.

Our videos transform validated research findings into concise and compelling summaries, typically based on peer-reviewed articles, books, or monographs. The research being summarised must adhere to internationally accepted best practices in the field and comply with all applicable ethical and legal standards.
